Re: Asst Presiding Bishop Arrrested for Sexual Ass
Why be quick to believe either one of them? Lots of people wait to report sexual assault, and many never report, whether because of fear, or of lack of resolve or confidence, etc. And I don't see in the news story that there is no evidence. It doesn't mention any, but, as Esther said, I'm sure there is more to this story.

Re: Asst Presiding Bishop Arrrested for Sexual Ass
I am very familiar with this group of Apostolics.
They are VERY, VERY strict on outward appearances and I think there was something else that made them a bit more legalistic, but I don't remember.
Anyway, because of what I know about the people who attend churches in this fellowship, I simply don't believe the woman is telling the truth here.
Besides, Bishop Faulkner is highly reputable in the Washington, DC area and vicinity. Sure it's possible he could fall like this because he is human and humans can have wicked ways.
It's possible, but in this case, I just don't think it's likely.

The worst thing he can do is step down... its a implied admission that something happened.
Also he would be wise to do a certified lie detector test from a 3rd party company with other ministers in his fellowship present. That would wipe out most of the problems if innocent.
And its reason number 1,000,000 of why ministers should never counsel any female without their wife present or have their wife or a female staff minister do all female counseling.

It does sound like the accusation of a woman scorned, as someone commented. I'd be careful and not rush to judge this man before more facts are known or evidence is presented.
Im surprised the police even arrested him. And who in the world leaks this stuff to the news?

That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

"...there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known" (Matthew 10:26). If it is or isn't of truth it shall be revealed, God will protect the man of God if it isn't of a truth, and if it is... well my sincere prayers go out to all those effected by this situation.
