I am sorry for him...he has a real anger problem with the fact that the church has human members with feet of clay...but those of us with a deeper, perhaps, historical perspective knows sin happens, the church goes on. It's Christ's church, but made up of human people, and all branches of it have people who have besmirched Jesus' good name...We were even told this is the way it was going to be, tares in the wheat.

May God lead him to where he can find peace. May he learn to forgive so he can get beyond this hurt.

His blog entry is consistent with his published writings over the years ... "If only everyone else were as perfect as I am, what a wonderful world it would be!"

In religious terms, unfortunately, that reasoning leads relentlessly to "The Church of You and Me, and I'm not too sure about you." Also I sympathize deeply with his desiring to protect his children from abuse (like, don't we all?) I don't think church-hopping teaches them a good lesson. Sorry, there's not a single church out there where everyone is perfect, "just like us."
