'Let the one without sin cast the first stone'
In Rev. Scott Sharp’s Sunday sermon, he reminded the congregation of F. Chris Garcia’s dedication to the church, his family and his community.
Sharp, senior pastor of Central United Methodist Church, where Garcia regularly attended services with his wife, said Garcia was eager to help others and engage in ministry.
“He is very supportive; an active part of a quartet we have and an active part of choir,” Sharp said. “He is very friendly, always has a smile on his face, and he is a great person to be around.”
Sharp said he has spoken with Garcia since the arrest and is supporting him spiritually.
“We’re in a position where we are doing what we can as a church, and we hope that justice is done and the truth comes out,” he said. “In the meantime we are not making any judgments concerning what that is about. We are supportive of Chris and Sandy (Garcia’s wife), and hopeful that the truth will reveal he is innocent.”
Garcia was arrested June 23 and charged with promoting prostitution, conspiracy, and evidence tampering in connection with a 1,400-member online prostitution ring named Southwest Companions, according to Albuquerque Police Department. officers said Garcia’s role was to help recruit new prostitutes and clients for the organization.
Ed Vigil, a fellow churchgoer, said Sharp’s June 26 sermon addressing Garcia’s arrest was powerful. Vigil said the news shocked him.
“God calls us to unknown places,” he said. “We are all broken people. Let the one without sin cast the first stone.”
Garcia’s résumé includes hundreds of publications and thousands of hours of community service. He was inducted into the Senior Hall of Fame of Silver Horizons New Mexico in 2009. The senior community honors four senior citizens each year for outstanding contributions to the community.
Lori Feibelman, Silver Horizons executive director, said she prefers not to comment on the charges against Garcia. Mark Peceny, the political science major Sarah Morgese said she sees Garcia’s conduct as separate from his contributions to the University and to its overall reputation.
“I don’t think Garcia’s arrest reflects on the political science department in a negative way at all,” she said. “As a political science major, I have taken many excellent courses by many wise, dedicated professors and can attest to the strength of the department as a whole. If the allegations are true, Garcia’s arrest is nothing but a reflection of his own character.

Freedom Through Truth: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
I was shocked to hear about the SOLT press release yesterday about (Father) John Corapi, and about the double life he has lived during his public ministry. That is, until I looked into the mirror and remembered the particular time in my life where I did the same. That simply brings to mind the Gospel words: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," words that Our Saviour said, and words we must live by. My darkest days looked bright to those around me. I made really good money. Though I lived well, I was not ostentatious with the money I had, but I did not spend much of it wisely. I looked pretty good to much of the world I inhabited. Most people did not see the shambles that I had made of the most important aspects of my life, my family, my faith. Then God hit me in the back of the head with a Ford Windstar van. What grace. What mercy. That my God loves me so much that he would not let me stray far from Him. One reason that God came to my aid, was that I had a praying mother, who prayed that God would hit me over the head with a baseball bat. Maybe somebody else was praying too, and God upped it to a van. He needs one thing from the Body of Christ. He needs our prayers. The Canticle of Zechariah antiphon today in the Lauds (Morning Liturgy of the Hours) is "Let us serve the Lord in holiness all the days of our lives." May we do so ourselves, and may we in communion with all the saints pray that (Father) John Corapi returns to the holiness to which he was ordained by Blessed John Paul II in 1991.
