Too many bishops have been assimilated to the culture. What makes you think, however, that the congregational churches don't cover up sexual scandals? A preacher in Mississippi who is caught in bed with the deacon's daughter can always just head for new parts and find a new flock and start a new Church there. He really doesn't need a recommendation, but sometimes he can get one from a board who just wants him to disappear. Or are you one of those who think that small businesses and naturally less corrupt than big businesses?

That is why we have nominating committes. They are supposed to check these guys out. Have you had a chance to study 1Timothy3. We have been discussing this in my bible class. God has some strict requirements they have to meet. Oh, after you read it would you tell me what do you think is meant by "the husband of one wife?

Robby, I hope you don't think I just feel this way about Catholics, I'd feel the same way about any deviate that takes advantage of their office to misuse people, especially children.
It doesn't seem like most other Churches have the same problem dealing with it that you do though.
