THREE ministers accused of getting into a scuffle on the pulpit following a succession battle for church leadership are expected to return to court today, when the prosecution is expected present its final witness.

Bishop Michael Symonette, 31, church minister Levano Moss, 46, and church board member Zendel Stubbs, 53, who are all on $1,000 self-signed bail, each face a charge of disorderly behaviour in a place of divine worship.

All three denied the accusation and pleaded not guilty at their arraignment.

It is claimed that on Sunday, September 23, 2012, the three men committed the offence at the St Charles Vincent Street church during a morning service.

The row allegedly occurred around 8am, minutes into the service, following the announcement that Symonette was chosen over Minister Moss by church members to succeed his late father, Bishop Elkin Symonette, as bishop.

Attorney Michael Kemp represents Moss and Stubbs while Symonette is represented by Ramona Farquharson-Seymour. Court proceedings begin at 10am.
