<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>With
respect to #4 below, have you lost your mind (no disrespect intended) or do you
simply live in a parallel universe where no one else who gives a rip about
children would care to live?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Fact:
without a doubt, Doug Wilson knew of Steven James Sitler’s heinous crimes
on 3/10/2005. There has been speculation that Wilson orchestrated Sitler’s
flight from this community to avoid contact with local law enforcement, but we’ll
stick with facts here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Fact:
the criminal complaint was filed 7/6/2005.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Fact:
depending on which Christ Church source you want to believe, church members
were extensively informed of Sitler’s predation in our community no later
than November (that’s from Wilson himself). Other Christ Church
members claim to have known beforehand, but I’m content enough to use Wilson’s
dates in this context.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Fact:
a very successful gag order was issued by Kirk hierarchy as evidenced by the
fact that while the Kirk congregation was made aware of Sitler’s
predation in this and other communities, <b><u>not</u> <u>a</u> <u>single</u></b></span><span
style='color:#1F497D'> </span><b><u><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

the children of their neighbors – to warn those of us not privy to Kirk
HOH meetings that a monster had been free to prey on and molest our children
for some 18 months. This from people who had – and have continued to
-- shrilly insisted that they are good neighbors and members of the
community. Needless to say, their kowtowing to that gag order makes hollow
their demands for recognition as good neighbors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Fact:
outside the Kirk and the judicial system (which also remained inexplicably
silent), no one in the community was informed for <b><u>eleven</u> <u>months</u></b>
following his adjudication that this monster, who came to our community to attend
NSA, had trolled for child victims in our community. The first news
article appeared in the Trib on 6/7/2006 with the Snooze quickly following on
the Trib’s coattails 6/8/2006. News coverage only happened after
the information was brought to light by others.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Fact:
compare and contrast this with news coverage of other non-Kirk local sex offenders
before and since, and it doesn’t take a genius to realize that Svengali
Doug Wilson’s gag order was successful beyond his wildest dream.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
1. Wilson called the cops -- on that, we both agree.<br>
<br>
2. My "personal standard" for pastoral behavior during a rape
scandal, while reasonable, isn't the issue. I'm thankful that Wilson has
an authority far, far above me who will judge his attitude. As for
specific examples of sarcastic humor during what should have been a time of
repentance and self-reflection, I gave you one: the cute little cartoon
about the young male "youth group leader" ogling a young, curvaceous
girl. I think I would, perhaps, have set aside my love of
snicker-snicker, sophomoric cartoon art about lusty male ministers if I were a
pastor whose congregation had been rocked by the rape of toddlers by one of its
male students at its classical Christian college. <br>
<br>
3. Why not tell the women directly? <br>
<br>
4. And why not tell the community? The media's dissemination of the
story was shoddy and tepid. The offender's home church was open and
immediate about printing his name and the nature of his crimes once those
committed in that community were revealed. Not a word from the Kirk until
the story broke on Vision, courtesy of an outraged former congregant.<br>
<br>
5. Your recollection fails you here. Wilson insisted the man was
not a member of the congregation. Technically true, and yet patently
false.<br>
<br>
6. I believe that an untrained minister who holds to the doctrines of
sexuality, patriarchy, submission and hierarchy that Wilson does should offer
no more than prayer and comfort, not counseling for sex offenses, and that only
after he humbly examines his own doctrinal foundations. The man had a
licensed therapist in Lewiston. That he had a minister here in
Wilson is undisputed; the perpetrator may call him "pastor," but I
certainly wouldn't, and don't.<br>
<br>
7. "Girl-power Christianity"? Good heavens. This is
my religious faith, not a softball team. Fortunately, though, my God
loves girls who live in His power. It's guys like you who don't like us,
and yet somehow we go on.<br>
<br>
And a bonus question: Is there anything -- ANYTHING -- that you've seen
from Christ Church or its ministries or elders or pastor that you've found at
all objectionable . . . ever? <br>

Here it seems that it was your PERSONAL standard that was not met. To
assert that there was no expression of horror, grief, etc. is simply without
merit. That it didn't satisfy your standards is no surprise. In all
likelyhood nothing short of group immolation could have, I suspect. (I
would ask for a specific example of "scatological" sarcasm from
B&M but I imagine that it would arrive in a manner similar to Ms.
Hovey's response to my initial question, either not at all or far short of the

I can't really speak to this issue since I have no first hand knowledge but, my

was a student at NSA and while not technically a member of the congregation was

font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Gary, you believe Sue engaged in character
assassination and bigotry by asserting that Christ Church consists of a group
of patriarchal men willing to tolerate, even protect, males in their
congregation who are sexual predators. These are her words, not
mine. I agree with her general point, but I don't really know how they
would tolerate, even protect, another sexual predator. I only know how
they acted when one was revealed. And so I'll propose a minimum standard
for responsibly, Biblically, dealing with active sexual predators who rape
children in the congregation and perhaps elsewhere.<br>
<br>
1. Tell the police, which Wilson did. <br>
2. Express horror, outrage, grief, and humility. The public face of
Christ Church during this was defensive and arrogant; privately, on his blog,
Wilson continued the usual scatological, snarky sarcasm that he trades in so
richly. Remember the "youth minister" cartoon? In context
or out, a real knee-slapper, that.<br>
3. Then tell the mothers, who are usually the ones who would notice
trauma-driven behaviors or odd physical changes in their children, and tell the
fathers. Wilson didn't. The male heads of households were told; it
was up to them whether or not to bring the information home to their
subordinate wives.<br>
4. Tell the community. Wilson didn't, even though the perp
lived in Moscow and presumably emerged at some point from the Kirk social
network.<br>
5. Don't deny that he's "one of yours." Be honest here --
Wilson took pains to point out that the man was not an official member of
Christ Church or Trinity Reformed. The man studied in the Kirk's New St.
Andrews, attended weekly service at CC, lived in a Kirk family's home as a
boarder in a program overseen by Kirk elders, came to Moscow to be part of
Christ Church, and would have, prior to the crimes, been identified as a Christ
Church kind of guy. I think that's what people mean and not the absence
of official enrollment when they say he was "from Christ
Church." I think that honesty about the man's connection to your
church fellowship is what people mean by "ethical" and
"straightforward."<br>
6. As the justice system adjudicates the case, which it did here with
surprising results, be available to comfort the families and minister grace to
the offender. Wilson believes he did that. He also counseled the
predator, something he is woefully, breathtakingly, unqualified to do.<br>
7. Examine if there's anything in the pastor's teachings or beliefs that
might encourage bad behavior or misapprehends the Scriptures and doctrines of
the Church. In response to my admonishment that the Kirk elders do so,
one of them, our pal Dale, simply responds by making fun of Tom Hansen. I
think that wasn't quite what I meant by "sober reflection," and I'm
pretty sure Christ didn't.<br>

when evidence of misconduct became known within the "congregation" in

The Everlasting Blogstalker, Dale Courtney, laments today on his Right-Mind
blog that Moscow's liberals are quick to jump on the bandwagon of disapproval
of the recent revelations that young girls in the FLDS polygamist cult in West
Texas are routinely forced into sexual relationships with older men who believe
that these polygamous "celestial marriages" are essential to the
practice of their faith, while remaining silent about things like young girls
being forced to "marry" older men in some Muslim cultures. Dale
believes that the shameful tolerance his liberal foes exhibit toward the
behavior of some Muslims is hypocritical in light of their disgust over
offshoot-Mormon group practices, and he, like a good "Christian"
libertarian man of chest, must make note of it. It seems that we liberals
just can't muster any disapproval of Islam, so busy are we, I suppose, hating
groups that call themselves Christian. <br>
<br>
Certainly Dale's worldview is energized by the thought that he and his pals are
witnesses to the persecution of the Church from their vantage point of those
suffering under it. It's a silly assertion, of course, as is his smug
denouncement of feminized, morally bankrupt liberals who pick and choose their
objects of outrage from a tortured position of ethical spinelessness. I
am a liberal; I know of no one, liberal or conservative, who isn't disgusted by
the reality of adult men who engage in sex with children. I'm not aware
of anyone who thinks that religion excuses the horrors that men visit upon
their victims, whether that religion is a perversion of Christianity or a
perversion of Islam. Because most of the people I know are rational,
decent people, they are angered by child rape and outraged that it can be, and
is, committed as a sort of religious expression. Atheists and the
religious are united in believing that no God would be honored by inflicting
horror on the little ones he created.<br>
<br>
I don't know if Muhammed had a sexual relationship with a nine-year-old girl,
as Dale asserts, just as I don't know if Joseph Smith slept with underage
girls. My not being Muslim or Mormon, or part of any group that claims to
be the "true expression" of either, has nothing to do with the sexual
sin of the men each faith reveres as prophets. I am much more concerned
about my own faith and the men who claim it, and who, as Christians, perpetuate
patriarchy, hierarchy, power, manipulation and sexism in their homes, churches,
and relationships. If, for example, there were a Christian church
in town that had witnessed one or two specific instances of their men preying
on young children or teenage girls, I would expect that that church would
reflect on any connection between the rape committed by their young students of
patriarchy and power, sexism and sexuality, and the practices and teaching that
the predators received from their teachers. I would expect that that
church would publicly repent of any gender-based arrogance, hierarchy, or
wielding of power it had exhibited. I would hope that its leaders would
examine a theology that has as its origin the reality of a post-Fall seizing of
ungodly power and descent into violence, rather than the redemptive, radical
justice and equality ushered in by the Savior they claim to worship. I
would pray that such a church would see that its elevation of male power and
privilege, its defense of patriarchy, its practice of gender hierarchy and
unilateral submission, and its defensive clinging to the ways of the world and
not the fruit of the Spirit are sinful, reflecting the depotism of evil and not
the gentleness of Christlike love. I would expect that. <br>
<br>
I would be disappointed.<br>
<br>
And so I will lead the charge, if that is indeed what Dale's asking for,
by announcing that this middle-aged, progressive, evangelical homemaker, and
everyone she knows, thinks men who sleep with girls are evil.
There. Now that the totality of liberal condemnation of rape and pedophilia
has been thusly offered to this erstwhile elder, let's see if he and his other
patriarchal heads of household pause and examine if the perpetuation of sexual
violence on the weak in the name of religion has more to do with bad theology,
teaching, and practice than with the perceived indifference of Moscow's
liberals. It could be the start of an incredible spiritual renewal,
revolutionary in scope and profound in effect. Or, Dale could just write
this off as the emotional blather of someone who just doesn't know her place, a
position that is probably a lot easier to undertake while enjoying the Sabbath
with other puny patriarchs. <br>
<br>
I guess we'll see . . . <br>
