Eight years ago, I came under heavy opposition and criticism for removing a man from our Church Youth. It was one of the most difficult points of my ministry. Six years later, he was apprehended, "pleaded guilty to fifteen counts of sexual assault involving eight young children," and "it emerged that he attended the same church as the victims" (Source: IOL). OBSERVATION: While I did not know of his paedophilia at the time that I removed him, I thank God for guidance. When I say that "I removed him", I referred my decision immediately to a committee for scrutiny. I wish that none of this had happened to anyone involved, including him.
