Convicted Pastor Denied Leadership Post

DANIA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The former head of a national organization of black Baptist churches, who spent four years in prison for stealing millions of dollars from the group, lost his bid to lead the group's Florida chapter.
The Rev. Henry Lyons, 65, was wildly popular before his conviction and is still highly regarded by many church members, but his support apparently was not enough to fend off the Rev. James Sampson of Jacksonville, who was announced the new head of the Florida General Baptist Convention by a wide margin.
The group is a chapter of the National Baptist Convention USA, which says it represents about 7.5 million members of black churches nationwide.
