    Serial murder suspect retains leadership at Church

    By Jeremy | March 14, 2005

    This story is baffling. Charged with ten murders between 1974 and 1991, BTK ("Bind, Torture, Kill") serial murder suspect Dennis Rader was finally identified after coming out of hiding to taunt local media and police in the last few months. Yet the pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, where Rader served as president of the Church Council, said he will retain his leadership position at the church for now. I understand pastoral care and the need to provide spiritual support for members of the congregation even during the most difficult of circumstances, but to allow for continued leadership in the face of such charges, some of which Rader has apparently admitted? Sure, that's the guy I want holding my pastor accountable. If people in Witchita needed any more excuses to avoid church, Pastor Michael Clark gave them a huge reason to stay away from Christ Lutheran. God help us.

      This is the part that got me going, “For now, Rader remains president of Christ Lutheran Church Council, although he will eventually have to relinquish some church leadership positions, Clark said.” What is there to argue here?
