Pastor said the *F - thing* in church.

[Bro. Robbins]

Lord knows any of us that speak publicly for any long period of time will eventually mess up and say something we shouldn't have. Typically, there is much more grace to something being said spontaneously, than something that had some forethought, and in this case, it would seem he knew he was going to at least quote a "sinner's" view of the movie.

That all being said, the "mishap" was done publicly, then the apology should be in the same forum and setting as the mistake. Unless it is a trend, I'd afford him the same mercy and grace I would want myself... but I was taught a long time ago, if the foot was placed in the mouth in the pulpit in front of a crowd, then remove it in the pulpit in front of that same crowd as well.

Well...I certainly agree with this.
