About this episode
The episode discusses recent scandals involving confessional Protestant leaders and their failures to protect church members.
Don't let that click bait fool you. Confessional Protestants have been in the news -- not for being named in the Epstein files. A Lutheran Church Missouri Synod district president has been charged with possessing child pornography, the moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland resigned for failing to protect church members from abuse, and Presbyterians in the United States have excommunicated a minister for holding to and promoting kinism. And you thought Anglicans had it rough. The co-hosts, Anglican Miles Smith , Lutheran Korey Maas , and Presbyterian D. G. Hart put their heads together virtually to discuss and comment on these regretable developments. Listeners beware. Jeffrey Epstein is never mentioned.
