It happened in Espadín. It was a small, modest, quiet, conservative, and close-knit Christian community, respected models of integrity in their neighborhood. The kind of perfectionism that breeds pride of reputation in the leaders, and the members become charged with defending the leaders' personal reputations. So when the pastor molests the children, and before he can be brought to justice, the reputations take priority over the victims. And in the desperation to swept it all under the carpet, the heads roll through the congregation like the fall of upstanding dominos. Who can survive such a house cleaning?
