I commented on how the hero of "Praise to the Man" has NOW become a "very real, fallible, human being" all of a sudden...and six months ago, I doubt very much the Corporation of the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would have been endorsing and supporting Bushman in this effort and his recommendation “It is necessary that the church not only shows more support and openness to these ‘apostates’ but also teaches and advises all members, bishops, stake presidents etc., who usually don’t know how to deal with such a situation in terms of organizational and ecclesiastical questions and – out of insecurity – fail to treat the critical member with the necessary love and respect that even a normal stranger would receive.” .
Yes, he is saying that those called to leadership positions in the Church and members at large should be ready to respond to the questions of apostates (as we would with a total stranger) rather than be insecure about doing so merely because they are “apostate”. I see nothing wrong with this thinking and I am sure the Church leadership would not either. I still fail to see whatever point it is you are trying to draw from this article. I think you are reaching for something that isn’t there. Typical.
