[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the Post:

"Even among congregants focused on getting Moore a strong severance package, there is a willingness to admit she had drawbacks."

Is this true?  Personally I've not heard a single Rev Susan supporter mention her drawbacks.  It's what tips me over to the Rev Hardies side.  We've had plenty of airing of his shortcomings.[/quote]

What tips me away from the Reverend Rob side is that he failed to provide regular performance evaluations for a staffer he believed had serious and long term issues. Oh, and the fact that he's done this before to other staff, who support Reverend Susan. [/quote]

Understood and agree about his shortcomings.  The question stands.  What are Reverend Newman's shortcomings?  [/quote]

Commenters on the recent Washington Post article claim that she "expected congregants to support and minister to her."

This claim seems subjective. I was a minister for many years, including the year when I unexpectedly lost my father. I accepted a great deal of love and comfort from individuals in my community at that time. Especially in non-white churches, pastors can be enmeshed in their communities.

Presumably the Baptist Convention did a bit of vetting on the UCC's claims before reaffirming Reverend Newman's ordination. [/quote]
