The events of this story occurred during the early 80's. Coincidentally, when we first joined the church and I was going through my toughest years. I am sure that stories like these are probably much less common in the UPC then they were at that time simply because most of the fringe pastors, such as the one here, have left the org a long time ago.
It does make me shudder to read this, and also wonder a bit, as well as even making me a bit angry, why people let themselves put up with it!
