Guys, it doesn't mean a thing that the guy stepped down. The congregational by-laws...legal requirement for the 501c(3) corporate structure of that congregation required the accused to step down from his position until disposition of the matter was complete. (in this case, investigation by four independent...outside that church...ministers)
In my small Presbyterian denomination, such a person would be temporarily suspended from the excercise of his ministerial functions by the Presbytery, until the disposition of the matter. It has often been done over much lesser matters, and should be no basis for suspicion at all.
interesting - but nothing would've stopped him from stepping in front of the cameras and saying to the world that these are complete lies (cause they're not) - I feel very sorry for his family and all the people who followed him.
