The other issue that I think the Bishop would want to think about is how their decision causes the congregation to view men. When churches everywhere are struggling to build an understanding of how to be a Godly man, to engage men and bring them to a commitment to the church community, but then demonizes men as a whole group this way — well it’s no wonder that there are more women in the pews than men. And if women/children don’t get a positive impression of good men from church – where on earth are they going to get it from?
This is a serious decision, and while I respect the Bishop for wanting to protect children good intentions aren’t really enough.
