| Can we try to leave this alone? This has been going on for four years, the back and forth, chirping, redefining incidents that have happened in the past. Bill has, on Tuesday evening, admitted to and underlined the incidents.I just happen to share a spiritual father with Bill and have background regarding the anger around the long-time concerns. Here is what IS true and what Bill has used as his reasons for stepping down six months ahead of schedule.Hybels allegedly made suggestive comments, hugged for too long, gave an unwanted kiss, and invited a staff member into his hotel room. A woman who claimed she had a prolonged consensual affair with Hybels said the claim was false. She called Hybels wife, Lynne, and apologized as well as sent a statement to the elders that she was 'angry at Willow' and trying to exact revenge.Two primary women, Nancy Beach & Vonda Dyer, had very uncomfortable encounters with Bill in the 1990s. Both handled it, confrontationally, at the time and life moved on for all. No one knew anybody else's story.Later, when flirting with emerging female leaders there was a flurry of discomfort and, again, confrontation. Bill agreed to stop.These have been labeled as sexual misconduct. Those two words, while technically correct because it was an act of emotional grooming, did not ever include intimate contact, clothed or unclothed.Over the last year, as the MeToo movement brought attention to ALL forms of gender intimidation and subtle coersion, Willow Creek leadership appropriately responded with their own offer to help women. Here is there statement...The metoo movement crosses all cultures, religions, and genders. If you’ve been sexually harassed or harmed, your pain matters—to us and to God. |

| I was never a Hybels follower, so this is also the first time I saw any of this. The metoo movement has redefined the terms of men and women interaction. No longer can questionable behavior get a pass...in fact, it has folks reexamining past indiscretions. As a whole, I am pleased with the movement. It shows that the VP was ahead of the curve in how to deal with interacting with the opposite sex |

| It is terrible to hear this. I was never a strong follower of Hybels’ ministry, but these revelations are a real shame to evangelical Christianity. |

| OTCP, you have certainly earned some of the comments against you.You have, over and over, posted videos or comments that mock men of God who, even if they were wrong, deserve better than you trying to show how wrong they are.Even Joseph sought to put away Mary privily. You like to do it with maximum effect and exposure. |
