“We also recognize that our congregation is a victim.”
No, pastor, two children are the victims. Enough with this abstract group victimhood. I find it disgusting that he seems more concerned about the offender’s family and the congregation as a whole than about the two girls and their families. While the congregation or a group is going to be affected by evil acts, let’s not equate the abstract victims with the actual victims.

ALSO - as in something was said before that. Your rage obviously is coming from somewhere else.
