The Baptist church that I belong to (fundamental, Independent, and NOT a member of the SBC) would have turned in whomever did it to the police and run them out of the church on a rail. And tell the perp that he had a real problem and needed to repent AND do jail time.
Maybe you don’t need to paint with such a broad brush, eh?

Exactly- had the same thing happen to a church a couple of towns away- it hurt the church, but the church recovered- found a new pastor- and everyone involved in the incident got their comeuppance- and there hasn’t been another incident in over 25 years now-
Some people i guess just like to think every church is evil- But God did say to expect that kind of attitude- When a pastor unfortunately gives into sinful desire because they are human just like anyone else- then people are quick to condemn the whole religious institution-
