Just kidding. :)

You are absolutely right. If they think I got rid of him, I am sunk on the next round. They have to KNOW he doesn’t belong.

Equally as important is that the elders don’t file his departure away under “employ this event to leverage against the pastor”.

I will be praying God shows me exactly what He is doing. But the truth is, He rarely does that. Ok, never, but I am still praying.

It seems like that could take more than one or two “get togethers”. (Or not – depending on how things go.)

In any case, I don’t think you should be too quick to discount the possibility that you have a divinely ordained role is facilitating restoration and healing if the opportunity arises. (Actually, I don’t see you acting precipitously, that would be out of character, just wanted an excuse to use the word “precipitously” to see how it looked.)
