Pudding veritas est
Well, proof is in the pudding--maybe explain the actual circumstances under which the elders who pushed for Driscoll's firing left? (see bottom line; the "clarification" was "they were not fired". OK, does this mean "offered the chance to resign or be fired", or does it mean they truly left of their own volition?)
And a few other things come to mind. Maybe go back to an actual board of elders instead of letting the lead pastor put his buddies on the board of executive elders? Get away from the corporate structure, maybe? As John the Baptist said to the Pharisees, bear some fruits worthy of repentance.
Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
Baby steps, but good steps
This is what is written on their blog:
Let's see how they follow through and implement the changes. This seems to be a very welcome first step in addressing the mess that Mark Driscoll left behind. I'll put this it the category of 'very cautiously hopeful', for now, but this is just a very first step of many that need to be taken. I hope others like it follow soon. We'll see how serious they are when the audit results come out and their planned steps (if any) of remediation.
