I appreciate what you are saying, It resolved my queries too. As far as what
goes on between male and females in *any* organization, there will always be
temptation. What is called for is sense and sensibility. Billy Graham and
others took a vow never to be alone with a woman other than their wife. One
senior pastor I know who has now retired was very keen for all to avoid the
dangers of sexual temptation even to the extent of frowning upon a man and a
woman being alone in a car if they were travelling together (i.e. one was
giving the other a lift). Whilst I would not go as far as that, there have
been some women I have been very wary of. We are a fallen race and we need
to take measures to protect ourselves but this should not stop us from doing
things. Satan just loves to pollute any sort of activity or relationship. I
know Rangers in England has not been free of men who join simply to have
access to boys and I am sure that it has happened in America also.
