“If a trusted spiritual leader starts abusing a girl when she is 14”

At the same time, of course, we should make allowances for those situations where an abused girl was never given the opportunity to become a responsible adult.

Video: “I’ve always wanted to ask Doug Wilson . . . How should a church handle repentant sex offenders?”

Doug Dissembles

“I’m not authorized to offer the safety of the little kids in the church to someone who is not being supervised carefully enough. . . . So I can’t — I can give — we can give in the church — and must give — but only to the extent that we’re not stealing from somebody else, in order to subsidize it.” — Douglas Wilson Continue reading →
