My prayers are with all involved in this unfortunate situation. Can you image being on the board of a large UPC church with a well-known speaker, and having to make the decision to fire him and taking a chance that the church will blow up? The amount of pressure and stress had to be incredible to come to that decision! Do you secretly reprimand the pastor and allow things to stay at status quo, or are you repulsed enough by the double life and unethical dealings that you vote that enough is enough?
I would bet that there are churches where church boards would go the "cover-up" route. The actions of this Memphis church board tell me that they are indeed ethical and acting in the best interests of the church. I have no doubt that they travailed in prayer for a period of time before taking action.
