You beat me to it. COTK.  I know of one now who they are allowing time to find another place to go......it still happens.

It is also common practice with churches, SDA in particular, to move pastors once they offend in one way or the other(spousal abuse, adultery, embezzlement, etc).


While that may have been true at one time, if someone repented, was rebaptized etc, today... it is very rare, and Lord help the conference if our insurance company, Adventist Risk Management find out.

And so the Adventist Risk Management company is not concerned with the situation at 3ABN?

It sounds to me like the "old boy network" is alive and well in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Remember 3ABN is not covered by them,  3ABN is not an Adventist entity, It seems to me that someone checked out the Church/school there and they had another insurance company.  I know of a few conference that have other insurance companies.

The Illinois conference is not covered by them?

The Illinois conference president, Ken Denslow, is on the board of 3ABN.

not all churches, or at least that it how it has been, even in once conference are covered by RMS.

I know of two-three conferences, two were in litigation over sexual stuff,  that had opted out of RMS.

Ariste, I totally agree.  it does not sound right. 

Stan they may not have control over 3ABN, but sure have control over who they contract with to be pretty much a public face for Adventism.  ia m almost positive that 3ABN will be braodcasting from GC, as a source for many who cannot attend themselves, correct?  If something is amiss at 3ABN GC has an obligation to severe ties with them ASAP.  However, as this sorry scenario has unfolded, it seems that GC and 3ABN have done a little dirt together, so I fear that Danny knows where too many GC bodies lie for them to take any action to severe the GC>3ABN relationship.
