This is great stuff, Pastor! I can speak from walking through my own ugly and difficult hurt while I was on staff at a church. These are all great points and helpful for anyone walking through and trying to process this topic.
Remember- a person who doesn’t want to hear your point of view is self righteous. A child of God is always open to learn a different point of view. Even God listened to different points of view, Moses, Gideon, Peter …. Only God has the ultimate & righteous point of view. Trust him.
Thank you for everything you've learned to be able to share this very needed perspective with us, Chris. And for investing significant time to convey this in writing. So many home run observations in this article.
Really good stuff, Chris. Lots of biblical, practical, and life-giving counsel.

You make good point about considering how a person who is not able to serve at present is treated.
Your articles are always spot on and I look forward to them
