I'm not sure how to embedd the vid., if an admin wants to go for it.
Joyner says Bentley is ministering locally. And that his restoration is "almost complete."
Joyner is challenging the way the church deals with "restoration" and "marriage and divorce." He says he wants to write about the subject. No doubt he is testing to see how the church "public" accepts Bentley, saying thus far only two negative emails out of thousands.
Possibly Joyner is moving toward the secular pattern of dealng with a scandal? 1. Plead guilty, 2. Go to rehab. 3. Have friends make public statements, "he's not a bad guy and I support him in his therepy." 4. Hide for a few months while its all forgotten. 6. Don't get caught again! 5. Come back with a new "look" and "image." 7. Write a book about the experience and how much you have learned. 7. Ink a new business/career deal.
How should the church deal with the "tainted"? We usually just say your not fit for ministry and you have to sit down. But for how long???? And what is the sign your fit to return?????
