I just wanted to clarify that this pastor can certainly be forgiven for what he did, and perhaps he already has been (only God knows for sure).
However, just because we're forgiven for a sin, doesn't mean that we won't have to pay an earthly price for it. God forgave King David for committing adultery and having Uriah the Hittite killed, but He still took the resulting child's life as punishment. Perhaps this pastor has been forgiven as well, but that doesn't mean that he should be shepherding a flock again so soon.
Actually, it's the fact that he even WANTS to be a pastor again so soon that has me thinking that he hasn't fully repented. Let's say that I'm in charge of making the Brunswick stew for my church's annual stew-a-thon. And, let's say that I don't follow safe food-handling practices, and some people get sick from eating it. Really sick. I'm not talking about the "I-don't-feel-so-good" kind of sick, I'm talking about the "vomit-until-there's-no-sense-in-it" kind of sick. In fact, let's say that it's such a gastronomic event, it even makes the evening news. Glerf.
Now, if I TRULY feel bad about what I was responsible for, then the next time they're taking volunteers for the Stew Crew, I'm not going to be all "Hey, how about if I'm in charge of making the stew again, and we just won't let people with compromised immune systems eat any?"
NO.
If I REALLY felt bad about what I did, then it would probably be YEARS before I could hear the word "Brunswick" without flinching.
However, this guy doesn't seem to have any problem with the word "Brunswick", if you know what I mean. Just sayin'.
