well done

I'd forgotten about this poem, thanks for bringing it up again.

This story is breaking down here:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/news/71532608/sex-offender-graham-capills-cancelled-church-talk-splits-taranaki-community

The background is that the offender was a real hell fire and brimstone preacher and became the leader of the Christian political party (we have a multi party system with proportional representation, so small parties can get into government in a coalition arrangement). He has served his time and is on parole.

I wonder what others think about him being invited to speak at a church:

1). Is it right?
2) Would you go to hear him or someone in his position?
3) If this situation occurred at your church, what would you ask in the question time?
3b) Would it be to painful to attend?

I've got my own opinions, but thought I'd throw it out there for others to offer their views first.

Well, good for them for canceling!
The article tells the truth about what this guy did.
Too bad it doesn't mention what org. he was with.
Did your dad read this article?
Does he still not believe what happened?

Oh!
He isn't the one you have written about before?
Or is he?

Open mouth/ insert foot?
