Willow Creek Chicago pastor resigns over 'sexual impurity'
By Ashok Selvam | Daily Herald Staff

Willow Creek Community Church's Senior Pastor Bill Hybels has announced the resignation of the head of the church's Chicago campus because of "sexual impurity."

The Rev. Steve Wu has left as campus pastor of the Chicago branch of the South Barrington megachurch. He's "taken full responsibility for his sin," according to a church statement.

Hybels, who founded Willow Creek, hired Wu in 2006 to lead and help establish Willow Creek Chicago, which held its first service that year.

A church elder read a statement on Jan. 25 during services at the Chicago congregation announcing Wu's resignation. Church spokesman Ted Allen Miller said the church's staff was told of Wu's departure the next day, while Hybels told the South Barrington campus the news earlier this month.

7. I remember what happened when the pastor of the local mega-fundy-religious-right church resigned...
It turned out he had been indulging in a little unorthodox "laying on of hands" with some of the younger male converts.

:wow: :rofl:

9. A pastor from a suburban AOG church was put on probation
for his "sexual sin". Apparently he watched an x-rated movie when he stayed at a hotel while attending an out of town pastors conference. He gave the bill to the church treasurer for reimbursement. They checked up on him and found out it was an adult film- so he had to confess this in front of the church and take a few months leave without pay.

Most companies don't reimburse employees for watching any movie on a business trip. Usually the bill doesn't say what movie it is.
