Oh, so now the pastor has some leeway? Earlier, the conservative pastor with a not-so-conservative congregation didn't have the guts to stand for his own values. He was a dumb dog that couldn't bark.

Nobody is saying a pastor should be pro-sin, but any pastor who decides to handle those matters privately instead of "sounding the alarm" or "blowing the trumpet" should be applauded for doing what he thinks is best for his congregation.
