Two quibbles, one of which indicates great hope for the future; to expel churches with wanton disregard, you’ve got to define it in terms of best practices. I look forward to seeing that.

The other quibble; if indeed the Gospel is for all people, those who have abused children can and should find themselves in fellowship with us, just like murderers, thieves, and the like. It’s just that we don’t want them working in Sunday School, the nursery, and the like.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
