Do you believe in Redemption?

I am a true believe in redemption. I think that the majority of humans are not evil, per se, and can be reformed to an extent. This may be true in my mind for certain murderers and even sex offenders.

However a recent news story out of Kentucky tells of a child sex offender being ordained as a church minister. “How?” and “why?” are the words that immediately come to mind. In my view placing this man in a position where he will invariably come into contact with children, is tantamount to condoning the offense.

I am convinced that he is probably remorseful and has “found Christ” in his head but why allow him the opportunity to rescind back into his past acts? Isn’t this an irresponsible act coming from a place where people expect the highest level of trust and protection.?

Anyway, let me know your thoughts on this matter. It’s troubling and perhaps more detrimental than just plain stupid.
