But I have come to realize this is not the case. Even the denominational tribes that we might consider the most theologically solid and the most doctrinally faithful are not immune to this problem. Rather, it is sometimes precisely these groups that are most vulnerable because they often presume from the outset that the purity of their pastor’s doctrine must somehow guarantee the purity of their pastor’s character. Perhaps a little more humility about the former may have occasioned a little more self-reflection about the latter.
