Obviously, the pastor is liable before God.

Lawyers, looking for a big payoff, would want to bring the church into the liability. That would be possible if they can demonstrate some type of negligence on the church’s part.

A lawyers group Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) that formed in response to the Catholic abuse cases are the reason we are seeing more and more articles like this today.

It seems there are not enough Catholic abuses anymore and they smell money in expanding their activities to Protestant areas.
