A megachurch in the Chicago area has fired their pastor after sexual misconduct accusations. Is this a real hypocrite being outed, or just #metoo hysteria?

Church statement: https://www.willowcreek.org/en/august-8-statement

"Willow Creek Community Church" let go the entire leadership board & lead pastor Bill Hybels

Several women claim that Hybles behaved inappropriately with them, even coercing them to sexual acts with the power dynamic

There has not been any legal claim like rape or molestation as far as I can tell

I'm inclined to think he's just cucking out for the optics of the church, but didn't do anything the allegations would say

Here he talks about it, and has three "admissions"

>I shouldn't have reacted angrily to the accusations

>I've communicated things that were perceived in ways I did not intend

>I've put myself in situations that would have been wiser to avoid

He says "the investigations have found no evidence of misconduct"

What a fucking joke of a 'church', let evil devour their own kind (Leviticus 26:27-30).

Some choice "Core Values":

> We believe the church should be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure. This includes the concept of sensitively relating to our culture through our facility, printed materials, and use of the arts

> We believe churches should be led by men and women with God-given leadership gifts.

> I am on a gluten-free diet. Can I still celebrate Communion?

> Agree not to be divisive. (From their leadership page)

i.e. Don't offend anyone, that would be unchristian. Except all those times in the Bible Jesus calls people serpents and scum, and has the Jews literally calling for His blood they are so ass-wrecked.

Yep, it's like most churches are damned illiterate:

1 Timothy 2:12: Do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

1 Timothy 3:2: Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach…
