We absolutely welcome any felon for a second or third chance. BUT, we are Christians, not stupid! Our church has a children's' and youth side and on the opposite side of the building is the sanctuary. The problems we have had involved offenders not going into the sanctuary but trying to hang around the restrooms on the children's' side. We allow no adults on that side during service, except for parents picking up children.The times we have had problems is when adults with no children attempt to hang around the children's side. The 3 incidents we have had, all happened to be registered sex offenders. They are barred from our church. We don't have the time nor manpower to babysit a sex offender that still shows a proclivity towards children. Maybe Andy would feel different if it were his child in our nursery and we are throwing a sex offender out of the building????
And Andy, I have no clue what you are talking about, you make no sense. You talk as though I go to churches and charge them to provide security???? Please show me where I stated that. We are an all volunteer security team FOR OUR CHURCH, don't know where you're coming from. What you describe is a vigilante team, not a properly trained church security team.
