We are deeply skeptical of claims by officials at a Dallas church that they have “without exception” reported suspicions and knowledge of child sex crimes to law enforcement.” If they did, we doubt they did so promptly and fully. And we are deeply grateful to the brave woman who is exposing possible child sex crimes at the church.

A member of Village Church, Jordan Root, admitted viewing and having sexual images of children. But church officials disciplined his wife, Karen Hinkley, for taking steps to have their marriage annulled. Shame on them. And kudos to her for having the courage to expose this wrongdoing.

Pastor Steve Hardin and the church's public relations director Kent Rabalais have a lot to explain.

Root spent time in East Asia. We worry he may have hurt kids there. We hope anyone who may have seen, suspected or suffered child sex crimes or cover ups by Village Church staff will call police, expose wrongdoing, protect kids and start healing.
