The ideal mix would be two women and one man. The more eyes the better. Page 60.Protecting Your Church Against Sexual Predators: Legal FAQs for Church Leaders

Child Molesters are Never Cured
Filed under Church LawMar 30
The conclusion that child molesters are never cured comes from interpreting data that indicates pedophiles are wired differently in their psycho-sexual makeup, which is at the core of human self identity. What this means for church leaders is the man who has molested children in the past can never again be trusted, even if he has the best intentions and shows all indications of change. It can be assumed that the temptation remains, and that it is sometimes a strong temptation. David Grimm, a marriage and family therapist who has worked extensively with sex offenders and victims stated: “It’s not curable, but the best you can hope for is to engage the person’s conscience so they don’t want to create new victims.” Page 27Protecting Your Church Against Sexual Predators: Legal FAQs for Church Leaders Overall Rating:Retail Price: $12.99 Amazon Price: View Sale Price These are direct quotes from the book by Attorney Voyle A.
