Oh wow, I didn't know Debbie stayed in Chicago after she and Mike Anderson (Houston) divorced. Does that say she is a minister?????

Yes, she is addressed as Pastor Debbie Strlek. Not sure how long she has been married to this gentleman. But, she is affiliated with Dan Willis and that is perhaps how TB is being invited to be a speaker at this conference. Debbie and TB are brother and sister.

Ah! That sound you hear is the light bulb going off in my head. I had no idea. I know nothing of the TB family. Wouldn't know him if he walked up to me.

I wondered how he got hooked up with a cruisematic group just 3 months after all this and got invited to speak on restoration.

He must have signed up for the "Restoration Express" package. "90 days or less and we guarantee you will be back in the pulpit. No apologies or confession needed!"

Well, these family members stick together sometimes. Do not believe that family members still in UPC are backing this up and probably not approving of this conference engagement either. Just an opinion of a person who knows the family for many years.

Blood is thicker than water!

The beauty of it for TB is that if he ends up deciding to tack right rather than left he can explain away that speaking engagement as being a "family thing". On the other hand if he tacks liberal this could be his launching pad.

Re: Former Memphis area pastor preaching a confere

It does not appear to be clear at this time which direction he is taking as far as one can tell, but time will tell. Do not understand that he is qualified to expound on being restored at this early point, whether a relative, close friend or whatever is encouraging him to do so. God forgives if one is contrite, but contrition would lead one to be humble about their actions, etc. and be willing to sit down for a good while and show that they had a truly repentent heart before God and man.

Probably more like the Marian Barry "I got caught with pot and a hooker but STILL got reelected a year later!" plan.

He never "publically" spoke of any family members outside of Mother Black and his dad whom passed years ago. Nevr anything about a sister~
