"My Presbyterian church didn't skip a beat when the head pastor fell."

- Ryan Bolger in response to other charismatic churches he has been a part of that fell apart when the head pastor was discovered to be in sin.

It is lamentable that so many churches are built on the "charisma" of one man or woman while accountability structures are absent. As a charismatic Christian myself, I have witnessed the one man phenomenon first hand, and I've also witnessed a church fall apart when that man was discovered to be in sin. We charismatics must learn from our Presbyterian brothers (and others like them) to have the right structures in place to prevent losing the baby with the bath water (church with the pastor).
