I've never been so unapologetic as today. My sister and I were called before the high council for a meeting after church. Becka and I sat down with the youth during a DIG meeting and gave them an open forum to discuss "whatever they wanted" with some adults closer to their own age. We let the kids know that nothing they said would leave the room. We also said that no one knew why we were there so they didn't need to be nervous that we would tell.

If we had to do it all again the only thing I would have changed was our wording about the nature of the meeting. What bothered me most was Pastor Craig talking down to us. He is paid to lead youth group and has routinely failed us as a youth leader. I love Pastor Craig, but it hurt so much having someone who doesn't even try to do anything create yelling at us for this. I think the kids really enjoyed it and I don't think it was a safe sanctuaries violation.

I would do it again in a heartbeat. I think that we accomplished a lot of ministry in that meeting. I'm sorry if we misscommunicated anything - but I think that the scolding we recieved from the pastors was unneccesary. I want Pastor Craig to have more accountability and to stop dishing it out.
