A woman has sued the pastor of a megachurch in Georgia for pushing her head while praying for her, causing her to fall down to the ground and hit her head. She says she got a traumatic brain injury due to the incident.

Yvonne Byrd was injured when the pastor, Bishop William Sheals, pushed her head when he was walking around and praying for church members at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Gwinnett County, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
