We are instructed to expose the evil that lies in the shadows. Newman was in the news a lot in this area, as his crimes against children were revealed. I did permit my youngest child and only daughter to attend a couple times at the Brookhill Ranch Christian camp that Razorback Sally mentioned. It's two grand-plus to go to camp for two weeks. They can do their jobs well, even though theyre getting paid by the business. Currently, the camp's websiteprices four-week sessions at $4,800 per child. Neither you nor the other people in the parking lot are in the act of worshipping. If we question, then we are labeled not trusting and that is one of the deadly sins.

A prosecutor told the News-Leader at the time that Newman admitted to sexual activity with as many as 13 other minors. He worked there from 1995 until he was fired in2009. He says he wont sue the church, because he would find it uncomfortable to explain to Jesus how he took the churchs money and gave Him back 10%. The college said, ok. We dont want it. $$$$$.

That leads me to believe that the church leaders at the time,including JohnBryson and Bryan Loritts,didnot take crimes of a sexual nature seriously, especially if the person involved hasfriends and family connections. It cannot be discerned by externals so much (as the theology it claims to hold, or denomination it belongs to) as it is discerned by what it actually produces over time. Joe and his camp, Kanakuk, have been sued by Multiple former campers claiming that he and the camp knew that former employee Pete Newman was abusing children on camp grounds from 1999-2009. I say all of this, not to excuse those that turned a blind eye, but to provide some shading to what is easily drawn as a black and white picture several years later.
