But the only thing that might be a more serious threat, that might endanger our life together even more, is the refusal to hold pastors accountable when they choose to flagrantly violate the covenant and show no willingness to stop doing so. We all know this is a delicate time. Our church is imperfect, including its accountability structures. But I can't help but think that those pastors who flaunt the Discipline - regardless of the nobility of their cause - like the Eastern Pennsylvania 36 , are also at fault.
