Well, what would you tell your children about Pastor Ted if you attended New Life Church?The Rocky Mountain News reports that the church has given out a sheet of talking points for parents about the disappearance of "Pastor Ted". They are to tell their children that Pastor Ted loves Jesus very, very much and that he made a mistake and that while he is spending time with Jesus, Pastor Ross will be pastor. (Is this a hint of a possible return to action for Pastor Ted?) You will note that the term "mistake" is repetedly used. A mistake is a typo on a letter. A mistake is to forget a dental appointment or to accidentally drive over your child's bicycle while exiting the garage. A mistake is not visiting a gay prostitute and buying crystal meth. That would be sin.So all that really happened is that Pastor Ted has gone to spend more time with Jesus. You have to wonder how many consultants and special ministries people got together to dream that one up.
Bump.
