The American Conservative weighs in:

"We may read these stories of sexual abuse in churches, and tell ourselves that if something like that happened in our church, we would stand up for what is right. Maybe so. Maybe you would. But if you think most of the people in your church would do that, or stand by those who did, your optimism is unwarranted."

"One of the hardest life lessons I ever had to learn is that in the main, people prefer to be deceived. They would rather believe a lie that upholds their comfortable lives than face a truth that challenges it."

Just watched this one.  The author is interviewed.  She stated that the feedback has been primarily "Me Too."  She also stated that some people are responding to her as if she is trying to destroy the church while many other IFB pastors are glad to see the report and want to bring about a change in culture.

I guess the response is very much the same as in any other institution.
 
Yes, because the IFB is just like any institution born of this world. Corrupt.

Open up a new browser and start on page 3.
 
Just looked up an old name of a pastor from 40 years ago that had a relationship with a minor. Looks like he's still doing it. He's a registered sex offender.

Because I can clearly recognize and articulate how very bad the IFB is?
Take off your blinders!
I am a follower of Jesus Christ. That might be where you and I differ.

If you lump all IFB pastors into this mold you are not very articulate at all.

A little leaven leaventh the whole lump. And in this case, it's a LOT of leaven. 412 cases. And not one has been resolved properly or obediently to Scripture.

You have no credibility to stand on with such a huge instance of abuse cases. It's a horrible system.
