Of course he can sit next to all the other sinners, but lead the Church? I can't even imagine what would've possessed this man to do or want to buy meth? and a gay relationship? I am just shaking my head.
I am not shocked. Surprised, but not shocked. Here's why:
I do truly believe we are all sinners (I know I am one). I know he is a sinner and that all of us have a very dark nasty side to us. So I am not shocked that he was caught in sin. I am surprised, more out of the 'not in my church, no never' type thing.
No, I did not suspect or wonder...strong personalities even in the church (or especially in the church) can leave other impressions though.
Yep, I think leadership in the church is no longer an option in my opinion. There is a lot of concern for his family obviously, the look on his wife's face was the worst part for me.
