Critical error

Our dear brother and highly respected friend E. V. Hill, by following his heart, made an error of judgment in stating that no church laws were broken ("Razing the standard," Sept. 20). God, however, calls us to the higher standard of biblical ethics. Misuse of funds because the source is a large and presumably white corporation cannot be excused. All the lists of qualifications for church leaders (1 Timothy 3:3, 8; Titus 1:7; 1 Peter 5:2) include strong statements forbidding greed. Supporting a leader allegedly caught in sin, with no subsequent indication of confession, makes a mockery of Christianity and cruelly robs our African-American brothers in Christ of the respect they so desperately want and deserve. - David L. Keener, Fayetteville, Pa.
