News: Alabama pastor scandal and the church's way forward
- How should the church move forward after the pastor's scandal?
Dan reports that Alabama pastor Juan Demetrius McFarlane of Shiloh was removed after revealing he had full-blown AIDS since 2008 while continuing to sleep with church members, use drugs, and mishandle church finances. The quiz asks how the church should move forward: sue, let him go, or negotiate reconciliation through the elders. The hosts agree he must be removed from all standing and spoken to as an unbeliever - loved, but needing to start over - while one host frames him as a convert who was never discipled.
