The finance update was that the church income and expenses were both on track wrt the budget. One mentioned that elder nominations would likely be opening up soon for two new elders. There were short updates from a few committees. The meeting began by introducing the Session members.
One speaker joked that they would be doing other town hall meetings, and she hoped to see everyone again in the future. The meeting was relatively well attended. This will just be a quick blow-by-blow-cleaned up notes, basically. Do those involved actually believe that no one will guess the names of the investigator and the volunteer?.Did Ortberg choose to believe this situation was not serious because he was way too close to the person involved? There is also something odd about the lengths to which the church and Ortberg are going to protect the identity of the person with the *feelings.* It leads me to believe that this person is extremely close to the Ortberg family.There does not appear to be any good reason to keep this a secret. I have heard that a number of people know his name and I think it would be wise to get that name out there. There is something rather odd going on here. The name of the investigator should be released unless…he is a lawyer whose main job is to protect the church.To top it off, the unidentified person in this story, at the time or discovery, was allegedly not receiving counseling. This is indicative of a profound psychiatric disorder. There’s a world of difference between a guy who gets the hots looking at a beautiful woman walking by and a person who has the hots for younger/underage students. It is a sign of a profound psychiatric disorder. However, chronic unwanted thoughts about sexual feelings directed to middle and high school students is ABNORMAL. The church cooers to say that we all have *unwanted thoughts.* We all have unwanted thoughts.
