“In the past week, the church released a 35-page report telling its side of the story. I have read the entire report, and I strongly recommend that anyone with an interest in this matter should do the same.” - MinistryWatch

Interesting article. We knew such troublemakers thrive in small churches, but apparently they thrive everywhere.

Nothing like an unhappy member describing the elder board as "blockheads" and "trolls", and the context of Mr. Burke's note to the board shows him as...a person deeply deficient in the knowledge and practice of humility, IMO. Unfortunately, the practice of eldercide is far more widespread than it ought to be.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
