Mississippi: Choir performance disrupted by impromptu sermon

Folks attending the Saenger Theater to hear some traditional Mississippi music Saturday night received an unexpected earful of some fire-and-brimstone preaching by an audience member who took aim at the sinful behavior of homosexuals, adulterers and divorced people.

 

The incident began approximately one hour and 45 minutes into the concert, when a young white man with a guitar – invited on stage by the gospel choir of Southern Miss’ African American Student Organization, which was performing at the time – began to preach to the audience, asking such questions as, “Who will stand up for Jesus?” and “Is there a minister in the house?”
