Evangelical Hypocrisy a Surprise? -- NOT!

Religion and Faith Are Often Used To Promote and/or Justify Bigotry and Discrimination.

But Here's Yet Another Reminder Of The Charade.


from the Religion News Service:

Official Resigns Over Ethical Misconduct

The general secretary of the Assemblies of God, which has several congregations in Venango County, has resigned after admitting to ethical misconduct.

The resignation of John M. Palmer, who had served in the position since November 2007, was immediate.

General Superintendent George O. Wood, the denomination's chief executive, said Palmer "confessed to a one-time incident that involved ethical misconduct and an inappropriate interaction with a woman that did not involve any physical intimacy," the church's News and Information Service reported.

The executive presbyters are expected to appoint an interim replacement for Palmer to serve until the General Council, the organization's major biennial meeting, in August.
