Religious people are simply those that try their best to live their life as best they can according to their beliefs.
I have never read of or heard about a religious tenant that states "thou shalt be perfect"
We have talked before about this pastor, and I am not surprised that this unfortunate situation has developed.
I TRULY hope that your Easter Service goes well and that your congregation moves forward and becomes stronger for this.
I believe that I know the type of person you are and I am confident that when you looked inside for an answer, it is the right answer you heard
