Southern Baptist "pastor" Dr. James Griffith speaks on why he failed to report confirmed child molester to police or warn congregation

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution regarding alleged child molester and rapist of little boys, Ernest Boland; his pastor, Dr. James Griffith speaks on the record on why he never reported the crimes he was aware of and why he never warned his congregation at Beech Haven Baptist that he was allowing a child molester free reign in the church:

"Griffith never confronted Boland. Instead, he said last week, he asked a church deacon and a lawyer from the congregation to speak to the scoutmaster.

“That took care of it,” Griffith said. “These two men said, ‘We will handle this.’ They both were capable and it was under their authority. I did not get into it. It’s the kind of thing that can tear up your church. A wise pastor certainly will not do anything to hurt the entire congregation.” 

[Hey "Dr." Griffith, guess what? All the boys that were molested and you knew it, and did not report Earnest Boland to the police, THEY MATTERED. If not to you, then to GOD.]

Both emissaries have since died. Griffith, who later became executive director of the Georgia Baptist Convention, said he never heard more claims of sexual impropriety involving Boland."
