The story talks about a young woman who got pregnant by her minister. She had to ask her church for forgiveness for being an unwed mother. The church had no idea who the father was. How very Scarlett Letter. It seems more and more sex scandals are coming out of the religious communities. Is this some bizzare trend? Or have these things just finally boiled to the surface?

From CNN:
Sex abuse victims’ advocates go after Southern Baptists

“NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — The victims’ advocates who dogged the Roman Catholic Church over sex abuse by its clergy have now turned their attention to the Southern Baptists, accusing America’s largest Protestant denomination of also failing to root out molesters.

The Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests has started a campaign to call attention to alleged sex abuse committed by Southern Baptist ministers and concealed by churches.”
