"...concerning pastors: no one does more harm in the church than he who, having the name or order of sanctity, lives in sin; for no one dares to accuse him of sin, and therefore the sin is widely spread, since the sinner is honored for the sanctity of his order." This statement caught my attention because it's crazy to see how different church people are today. I grew up in the church that my dad pastored, and my family and I had quite the opposite experience. The congregation I saw was always ready to accuse my father of sin, no matter how much love he showed them. I'm curious to know when that changed occurred and how.
Commented on Abbey's blog.
This was a very interesting point, and it also makes me personally think, when did churches today start to readily re segregate classes. There have been various churches where i have seen classes separated by gender for no particular reason, and it is concerning.
