A Better Strategy for When You are Overwhelmed by Church Scandal

You hear it again and again: someone in a position of power caught in the act. It can be devastating to find out that a person you once respected isn’t who you thought they were.

It won’t.

It can be as simple as an email to a friend, “Larry, I was so upset when I read about XYZ. What’s your reaction?”
