Thanks for sharing your perception/experience
John. I've seen too much of this in christian circles and you
don't
very often hear from the one who was hurt. I used
to like Amy Grant's music but have no heart for it anymore.
She may be forgiven and restored in her relationship
with God but I wonder if it would be better for the body of
Christ and unbelievers who may be influenced also
if prominent people who have been involved in this
kind of
thing just quietly disappeared, retired, or
whatever. judyt

Vehemently?! Wow. It is not a salvation issue with me. But it is a leadership issue. Leaders in the church are to be above the fray. And I know that gospel singer is not a leader in the same sense as a prophet, teacher, preacher or elder. But with Amy, I just can't buy her albums. I know something about the situation between her and Pretty Boy. I saw the hurt in Chapman's face (Gary Chapman is or was her husband, right?). I have been through that same kind of disception and have no heart for those who pretend to be what they are not. I also do not watch movies about divorce, comedy or otherwise. Personal preference. God has not stopped listen to Amy but I have.
I had just bought an album by Pretty Boy, too. It has never been opened.
