Rev. Duke Tufty faces restrictions at Kansas City's Unity Temple on the Plaza after 35 years of service

Rev. Duke Tufty, former senior minister of Unity Temple on the Plaza, is reportedly banned from officiating memorial services and using his emeritus title. Tufty claims the current minister, Rev. Anne Tabor, is attempting to erase his legacy. The church board states decisions regarding Tufty are governance matters and have been consistent since his retirement. Tufty served the church for 35 years. The controversy highlights a dispute over his post-retirement role and the church's handling of his requests to officiate services for congregants.
