When you hear churches claim that they vet all of their pastors, you should instantly doubt them. You see, modern churches have a big problem: they are running out of pastors. Every year, there are fewer and fewer candidates to choose from, and so when a congregation finally finds someone to minister, they are so desperate that most of them don’t even bother to do their due diligence to protect their own flock.
Such was the case in Indiana, at a small church called “Fort Mill”. They had hired a 57 year old by the name of Donald Ray Logan, who had been working for the organization for over a decade. It turns out that one of the members of the church found his name in a registered sex offender list for a 1997 conviction. Logan was only recently added to the online sex offender registry, despite the fact that the charges stem from over three decades.
Logan is now fired, and his congregation is still in shock over the accusation. They shouldn’t be. With the increased desperation for qualified pastors, churches are usually forced to hire people with questionable pasts. Logan is but one example of the types of degenerates that seek these positions. Anyone who thinks that churches conduct rigorous background checks is a fool. They will take anyone, so long as they look the part. For all you religious folks, I have a warning for you: this is only going to get worse.
