ADDENDUM::Steve Carter | Blog RE:Willow Creek Community Church, Bill Hybels

Again thanks to DH for the update,,, "I mentioned earlier today that another story came out about Bill Hybels sexually harassing a woman pretty much into despair...now the teaching pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, Bill Hybels' handpicked successor Steve Carter, he's resigned with
immediate effect. "

I am writing to announce my resignation from Willow Creek Community Church, effective immediately.

The new facts and allegations that came to light this morning are horrifying, and my heart goes out to Ms. Baranowski and her family for the pain they have lived with. These most recent revelations have also compelled me to make public my decision to leave, as much as it grieves me to go.

Since the first women came forward with their stories, I have been gravely concerned about our church’s official response, and it’s ongoing approach to these painful issues. After many frank conversations with our elders, it became clear that there is a fundamental difference in judgment between what I believe is necessary for Willow Creek to move in a positive direction, and what they think is best,,,
