Rumors are spreading outside our congregation that Husband is being forced out by leadership. Senior pastor wants to prepare a statement addressing this rumor. The statement he proposes is, of course, intended to redirect attention.
What about the fact that THE RUMOR IS TRUE? Maybe if it’s a big problem for people to suspect what is true, then YOU SHOULD NOT DO IT, MACHIAVELLI!
Coming clean and being honest is a hard won character traits for us fallen sons and daughters of Adam. Maybe especially in the church. Blech.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear this is happening to another good pastor and his family.
ReplyDeleteImagine if the truth won out in all Christian congregations . . . *sigh*
