A jury on Thursday awarded about $314,000 to a woman who sued her former church and pastor.
Jurors found Delta Township-based Mount Hope Church and its pastor, David Russell Williams, responsible for injuries Judith Dadd sustained when she was "slain in the Spirit" at a church rally in 2002.
. . .
Dadd went to the altar during a July 18, 2002 rally for church leaders and was "slain in the Spirit," according to testimony.
She fell backward and struck her head on the floor. Dadd, who was a member of the church for 12 years but left in 2003, claims she still suffers from the effects of the fall, including increased symptoms of depression, memory loss and difficulty concentrating.
Dadd said the church, which has about 2,000 members and 6,000 attendees, was negligent because no usher was there to catch her.
The obvious question: Where was god?

Where was god? Looking for the ushers!
Fuck her -- she deserved it.
(not the money)
It's reassuring to know, at least, that God was overseeing things in the courthouse to ensure that Justice was done.
He works his majesty in mysterious ways.
