Re: UPC Pastor Convicted of Slander in Pulpit!
This error in judgment is not representative of the fine man I know Mark Fogarty to be. It's unfortunate for the victim, the Warner Robbins church, the Georgia District, and for Fogarty's own family and ministry.
In no way do I excuse his comments, however, if my wife was at a pool with one of my male friends in nothing but a bikini, I would file for divorce. In my opinion, she exercised extremely poor judgment, and showed an unhealthy willingness to mingle with a member of the opposite sex in a very volatile manner.
I do think everyone on this thread have missed the reason why Fogarty did not apologize. First, he may not have felt he did anything wrong. Second, he may have believed an apology would be viewed as an admission of guilt, and used against him in court.
Ironic, I know.
