Miss Peregrine Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hubby's home! Ok, hubby asked me to be VERY vague as to what is going on, because of current situations that are ongoing. so.... let's just say that we are VERY satisfied wtih how the church (and "others") are going to be working together to investigate/research. We are VERY satisfied with how the pastor reacted, and how he is handling the situation, and how he is communicating with others. And how he immediately involved "others" My husband has already been cc'd and contacted already by others investigating/researching. Poor pastor. LOL Hubby said he looked like a truck hit him by all the info. He never once did defend any of the actions of the Bible teacher, usually saying, OH NO-- we can't have that! over and over.... Anyway, that's all I can really say. At least right now. Thanks so much for your input! I love you guys! Yes!! That is great. I'm glad it is being taken seriously. :grouphug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks for the update. Will be praying that things are sorted out in a manner acceptable to you and your family. I will also pray for understanding with your ds. Someday he will get it. Hopefully before he has a ds of his own. :grouphug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Can your son have a meeting with this pastor in the next few days, so he can tell him that what happened was totally inappropriate, that what that man did was not his fault, that you guys did not overreact, and that he is in no way in any sort of trouble? Also, could he meet with the whole youth group and tell them the same thing, so that when the story gets out your son isn't ostracized? Also, can some of the parents arrange to take the boys camping and have a river or lake baptism so they boys don't miss out on the fun activity? Perhaps it can be a family event and many people can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saille Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Phew! I am so relieved, for your sakes, that the church leadership is steopping up. it's one thing to have one bad apple. It's another to feel like you can't trust the infrastructure of your faith community. I'm very glad, and your relief is almost tangible in your post.
