And it's a scandal and it's super disruptive but it's not a crisis of faith because 'pastors are people who fuck up too, and you shouldn't idolize them' is also built into the community. And that's something that's really important to teach kids young.

This exactly! I am kind of side-eyeing that the pastor was apparently all about purity - that's exactly what you DON'T want to teach kids, as pretty much everyone fails in a purity culture. I echo the columnist in suggesting looking at other churches where people are expected to be human or maybe just taking a break from church.
