For years, church members and students heard that "the only problem with the church is that it is run by humans." That the church is just as susceptible to sin as any other God-ordained institution that exists in the world. But no, we do not want to hear that. To counter that requires humility, contrition, and accountability. We are most human AND most Godly when we own our flaws rather than pretending that we don't have any scabs.
