I love it when a writer sends me back to the dictionary! Pusillanimous: showing a lack of courage or determination. My word for the month (I used to have a word for the week but it takes longer to enter my vocabulary now). I am trying to find my way into being less pusillanimous. I am not a survivor, but only because long before Pressler and Patterson began their takeover of the SBC I had a Pastor who overheard a leader say something and did something. I was angry over what transpired during the next 3 days. I thought the comment was innocuous. My Pastor knew better. He protected His sheep. Listening to survivors and their advocates I realize how rare this response is from those in leadership in our churches. And I become more resolute.
