How church worker was banned

@tech_gunner said more punishments might be meted out to him and wondered why a voluntary contribution suddenly attracted such a penalty from the church.

He vowed that he would still not contribute for the birthday. He tweeted:

"Because I didn’t send money for papa’s birthday I am banned from officiating this Sunday & more punishment might be meted, after you have said it’s a voluntary contribution."You aren’t even minding the financial capacity of some, others have sent but me I will not send……."
