When is a resignation not good enough? When you call from the FBI lockup to resign your position as youth pastor. That's Donald Brent Page did, he called in his resignation after being arrested for.... do I need to say it?
According to the Shelby County Reporter, Page, a 33-year-old husband and father, was arrested at a Memphis apartment after arranging a sexual encounter with who he thought was a 13-year-old girl. Page actually had been corresponding with a member of the Memphis FBI Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Pastor Todd Burr accepted Page's resignation. He should have rejected it and then fired his sorry ass. What the hell is a youth pastor doing arranging for a sexual encounter with a 13-year-old girl anyway? Burr's indignation is comical.
"Many of the unchurched in the community have been encouraged by the stand we have taken, and we are bound and determined to do something about it," Burr said. "It has got to stop, and it's going to take our churches rising up and having a voice again and saying we are not going to tolerate this."
What stand is that? Is it the one where you hired an alleged pedophile to prey on your youth group or is it the stand you took when you accepted his resignation. I don't see a stand buddy, I see spin.
