This is taken from 2Peter2:

"False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction. Even so, may will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth. In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now, their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake!
... These false teachers are bold and arrogant, and show no respect for the glorious beings above; instead, they insult them. Even the angels, who are so much stronger and mightier than these false teachers, do not accuse them with insults, in the presence of the Lord...They lead weak people into a trap. Their hearts are trained to be greedy...It would have been much better for them to never known the way of righteousness than to know it and turn away from the sacred command that was given them. What happened to them shows that the proverbs are true: "A dog goes back to what it has vomited", and "A pig that has been washed goes back to roll in the mud"."

I hope this excerpt taken from our Holy Bible at least makes some of you think about our what our church is facing right now. I pray that our former Bishop comes to realize what is happening and ask for forgiveness.
