actually , they have handled this in a Biblical manner. Satan means this to be destructive, but God will win out. He always does. Sin, is sin ,is sin....whether in the church or not. The church cannot tolerate sin, but it must ALWAYS love the sinner. My prayer is that his family will now come along side him, that he will have a attitude of repentance, and find healing that only God can give. David, the Shepherd Boy repented, and God brought healing. However the consequences of that sin never left David....
Did they need to point out that his sins were also of a sexual nature? I'm troubled by it. The man has a wife who's got to be hurting. Shouldn't it have been her decision to make the nature of his sins public? Wouldn't buying illegal drugs from a prostitute - information which was already public knowledge - have constituted sufficient grounds for his removal? Did they need to get more specific with their reasons for his dismissal?
I don't have the answers, I'm just putting the questions out there.
