Beauty in the World

Willow Creek Church Leadership Puts Out ANOTHER Statement Re:Bill Hybels
Willow Creek Church leadership put out a statement this past weekend “repenting” for the way they handled the accusations regarding Bill Hybels. I put “repenting” in scare quotes because certain parts of that statement come across as reluctant as opposed to eager repentance. Parts strike me more as a Public Relations (PR) begrudging move than … Continue reading “Willow Creek Church Leadership Puts Out ANOTHER Statement Re:Bill Hybels”
