103-Year-Old Woman Can Return to Church on Sunday

Genora Hamm Biggs -- age 103 -- can return to the church she has attended for more than nine decades, according to OnlineAthens.

On Wednesday, the pastor who banned her, Rev. Tim Mattox, announced he is leaving Union Grove Baptist Church.

The drama began several weeks ago, when Biggs was banned by Mattox after several disputes over his style of preaching.

According to reports, the church voted to fire Mattox, but he ignored that vote. The church then sent Mattox a letter of termination, and ordered him to remove his belongings.

Then, Mattox and a church deacon obtained a restraining order against one of Biggs’ grandchildren and the church secretary.

Earlier this week, Mattox’s attorney said his client had indeed decided to leave the church, and that Biggs’ membership had been reinstated. Mattox has also withdrawn those restraining orders.
