TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — At least five North Texas churches are looking for new pastors after a string of sudden resignations, firings, and arrests.

The shakeups, which all occurred in a 42-day span, have stunned thousands of churchgoers and elders. In at least three cases, church leaders addressed the changes in heavy sermons.

Some messages featured tearful apologies or pleas for patience and grace.

"I think we're just publicly seeing the tip of the iceberg," blogger Amy Smith told WFAA. "What that tells you is that it's systemic."
