A couple days ago George said this....

"The last big and significant crisis in the SDAC was certainly the "Desmond Ford Crisis," ca 35 years ago. The Church's behavior was shameful,....."

He goes on to explain how badly the church dealt with the Ford fiasco. And from one perspective, I agree. I think Ford took various bible truths, and wrested them from their biblical perspective and put his own convoluted interpretation on the gospel. The church agreed and dealt with him accordingly.

But after this fiasco, the church opted for pluralism and accepted and tolerated every false teacher and advocated and spread heresy all over the church in the name of "tolerance" or, "Pluralism".

In which case, Ford should have been re-instated with some apology for the action they took against him, while supporting many false teachers that followed him who suffered no discipline, but got massive affirmation by the church.
