LINK Controversial CA Megachurch Fires Pastor Over “Inappropriate Behavior Online” | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

Remember that whole controversy last year involving Pastor John Ortberg? The leader of Menlo Church in California resigned in July after it became public knowledge that he allowed a volunteer who admitted an “attraction to minors” to work with children.

Ortberg failed to take action in part because the warnings came from his estranged transgender son… and because the volunteer was his other son. While there were thankfully no reported incidents with the volunteer, it was truly disturbing that he was allowed to travel with children during overnight trips, including unsupervised ones. It was a clear reminder that this church’s oversight ability was a problem.

Now there’s another incident involving the same megachurch.

Menlo Church has a branch in Mountain View and they posted a message for members over the weekend saying that worship director Michael Bryce Jr. has been fired after past misconduct came to light.
