This wouldn't happen if they let Baptist youth directors get married.

We had the same situation. It was difficult to tell if anything actually happened because the girl and her family were crazy but we let him go anyway. He got himself in a position where he couldn't defend himself (alone in a young girl's home).

If only the Baptist Church would let its ministers marry, this would never happen.


(Note sarcasm)

This case looks a little different, in that there was more than one girl involved. One might be crazy, but when you've got a pattern of more than one, that kind of removes any doubt about what you're dealing with.

Not sure where you get this. At least two for sure and perhaps all four of our youth pastors are married. But just because they are married does not mean this wouldn't happen.

Also, a couple of years ago the pastor that ran the recreation ministry was touched by a sermon and admitted he was having an affair (no laws were broken she was an adult also). He was immediately fired that day. The church paid for he & his wife to attend marriage counseling, and they are active members of the church. But he'll never be on a paid church staff again.
