A Friend posted this article about a church that crucified minister after minister and repented. Or did they?
Read the article.... "Widow Maker Churches"
It made me cry as it has some good news.... But in the end does it really?
The best Quote
"It's dumb to act like we have no problems. And it's just as bad to take half measures. You can't fix congestive heart failure with band-aids. You have to dig down, dig right to the cause, look at ourselves." (Paul Pastor)
Here was my comment about the article on FaceBook.
"The article made me cry. It was a touching gesture. Not to belittle their good heart. What they extended was beautiful. But the restoration was offered by innocent bystanders who let it happen.... At the time.... Not complicit perpetrators. The perpetrators of the crime are still at large...... Their churches name might be restored, and a healing process started in some way, but the abuse is not over... It moved down the street.... (We moved the priest to a new parish - did the abuse go away?) So i'm strangely very very saddened by the article too. Did I miss something?
My favorite quote in the article. .. ‘It's dumb to act like we have no problems. And it's just as bad to take half measures. You can't fix congestive heart failure with band-aids. You have to dig down, dig right to the cause, look at ourselves."
