[quote=Anonymous]Never heard of this guy, but at least he's fully admitting his sins and being accountable for them.  That's a LOT more than most people on DCUM would ever do, regardless of your religion(s).

"My conduct defied everything that I believe about marriage. It was also totally inconsistent with my faith and my writings and caused deep pain for her husband and both of our families," Yancey began in his statement, noting that he would withhold any further details out of respect for the other family impacted.

The author said he had "confessed my sin before God and my wife," and that he is undergoing counseling and an accountability program. He then apologized to his readers, who trusted him and his writing and for dishonoring God and his Christian faith.

"Having disqualified myself from Christian ministry, I am therefore retiring from writing, speaking and social media," Yancey wrote. "Instead, I need to spend my remaining years living up to the words I have already written."[/quote]
