This wasn't swept under the rug - Compiled by the Alabama Baptist staff, reported by the Baptist Press and posted to F.R. by a Baptist
If only they allowed Protestant ministers to marry this might not happen. Oh, wait...
Oh really? Maybe not by Highland Park Baptist, but what about these:
"Prior to his role at Highland Park Baptist, Eddie was employed by North Highland Baptist Church near Tuscumbia, North Village Baptist Church in Florence and one other unconfirmed church, according to his personal website."
We need hangin at the Courthouse Square to return! nuff said!
If only the moved him to another congregation. Oh, wait, that’s what Rome does.
“If only the moved him to another congregation. Oh, wait, that’s what Rome does.”
Rome doesn’t do that. Some bishops did. Nice try.
Well met, yet still horrendously tragic.
Bishops work for and represent Rome.
Ergo...
“Bishops work for and represent Rome. Ergo...”
Nope. When a bishop does something wrong he represents no one but himself.
No, a Bishop has sovereignty over his diocese.
What a horrific crime.
Wow...... it’s going to be bailout time for Baptists. This is organizational intolerable behavior at it’s worst. Blah, blah worse than the BSA blah blah blah.......

Unless you are one of the various baptist church that pass on perverts to the next town with good references.
***No, a Bishop has sovereignty over his diocese.***
So each diocese is like it’s own denomination.
No matter what Popes do, or how much goes on or has gone in in the Vatican or below, or what they say, only what Rome “officially” teaches can be considered to represent what Rome really believes, as no matter how much RCs invoke James 2, that says “I will show thee my faith by my works,” (2:18) this does not apply to her.
For the imagined pristine image of Rome as must be protected as all costs, since the One True Church® is a “perfect society.”
Speaking as a Baptist.......string him up.
The Bishop of Rome is Pope and leads in doctrine, but each individual bishop rules his little domain. Limited ability of pope to oversee that. Not none, but not all powerful either.
"Prior to his role at Highland Park Baptist, Eddie was employed by North Highland Baptist Church near Tuscumbia, North Village Baptist Church in Florence and one other unconfirmed church, according to his personal website."
Which proves what?
A bishop in the Roman Catholic church doesn't represent Rome?
Now if he did something good, that would be a different matter, I suppose.
Hypocrisy reeks.
If they name the name of Roman Catholic, they represent Rome.
I notice these key phrases......
was arrested Feb. 4
was released from his duties upon arrest
wife filing for divorce
Hmmm, sounds like consequences.
Prayer for that poor woman and her children. I can’t imagine how devastating it would be to their boys to know what they father did.
