Pastor arrested in assult case


A few questions always spring to mind when I read these types of posts. How does a man who is 23 years of age become a "gifted pastor"?

The director of outreach ministries at Asylum Hill Congregational Church in Hartford was arrested Tuesday on third-degree assault and disorderly conduct charges. Frederick L. Ward, 23, of 15 Bates St., was arrested after an incident near 18 Bates St. about 10:20 p.m. A police spokesman said details of what happened were not immediately available.
I know some poor soul out there attends Asylum Hill Congregational Church in Hartford. Can you tell me what seminary he study out. Or what university he attended? I read these stories and think, "how dumb is that"? A 23-year-old has little wisdom as wisdom comes with age. A 23-year-old has little experience as experience come from actually working. An a 23-year-old has all the same impulse control issues as other 23-year-males. That is too say, impulse control is a challenge. So... Why are we surprised when they get arrested for assault? I'm never surprised anymove.
