Deebs rejoicing over Larry Cotton's resignation; now hoping to see Steve Bradley removed too - UPDATE

Ah the Deebs - business as usual.
___________

But I have a serious question:

Larry Cotton has resigned.

Is everybody happy now?  Deebs?

ANSWER:  Maybe for a day but not much longer than that.

QUESTION:  Did Larry Cotton's behavior 20 years ago make him permanently unfit for ministry or is there a ministry who will judge him on the basis of his last 20 years and decide they might like him to lead them?  How churches handle sexual abuse has changed a lot in the last 20 years.  What he did then,  I'm guessing he wouldn't do now.

I would hope Mrs. Woodson is now healed - but the complexities of humanity suggests maybe it's not  that simple despite the resignation of two ministers.

So, what's actually changed?  It's a little hard to know but if you've been doing a handstand over Larry Cotton's resignation, you might want to lower your level of exultation.
