That's a real eye opener to what we the church are really like!! how sad!<BR/><BR/>I thought you might add to the integrity of the preacher section (if you were not already including it under one of your subpoints) something about humility/pride as it always goes before the fall. In today's culture, there is the potential for preachers, pastors, or evangelists who write about and expound God's word, if they are not careful, to be lured by fame to self-aggrandizement. That could fit under a few of your subpoints: manipulation of hearers, finances, and/or accountability.<BR/><BR/>Re: your second point, I had a question. What is corporate moral accountability? What does it look like practically?<BR/><BR/>Re: integrity of the congregation, I would hate to think that a preacher would knowingly seek to steal from God's kingdom to build up his own kingdom (implied in your comment about the Church Pirates and apparently without any fear of God). This might be avoided by holding closely to integrity in points one and two. The key here seems to be faithfully preaching, thereby encouraging the congregation and leading them (sounds like 360 degree preaching and leadership) in worship, evangelism and service to the body as well as beyond the church walls to the community and the world.<BR/><BR/>Scott was right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255061167072169918.post-83895217640854594672008-07-09T17:49:00.000-07:002008-07-09T17:49:00.000-07:00http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/north_eas...http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/north_east/7497411.stmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255061167072169918.post-67207314106243080552008-07-09T08:16:00.000-07:002008-07-09T08:16:00.000-07:00Sounds like a solid, short, pertinent, outline Mic...Sounds like a solid, short, pertinent, outline Michael.
