“I take one of the interviewee’s comment to heart: It’s easy to listen to this and compare, judge, assume you’d know better. But really this is a recounting that speaks to Solomon’s famous words: “nothing new under the sun” when you consider the realities of people + power. It’s humbling and a good reminder that we all need accountability when entrusted with leadership.
I appreciate the long form approach for its thoroughness. Too often we only hear the most salacious with no context. This provides a lot of necessary context and I get how people would want to join this church given when this happened and what the tone of Christianity was like at the time.
I’m grateful for the honest accounting of what happens when people do their best to follow Jesus but get caught up in a culture that slowly becomes toxic fueled by massive growth and good intentions. The fact that many who were part of this have shared apologies to those who were hurt is redemptive and (hopefully) healing. May we all do that in the churches we belong to. Nice job CT and thank you.”
