LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Commending a brave decision

Dear Editor:

We are very grateful to the Green family for having the courage and wisdom to report Rev. Timothy C. Edmonds' child sex crimes to law enforcement.

Sadly, all too often, congregants inform church officials of child molestation by clergy, only to have it covered up instead of addressed.

We hope the Green's brave and responsible actions will prod others who've seen, suspected and suffered Edmonds' misdeeds to come forward, get help and call police.
