Judicial Committee actions today vs 30 yrs ago
by Gregor inwhen i served on jcs in the '70s the majority concerned sexual infractions.
i am only guessing, but i get the impression that today it may be "apostasy" in the majority, or at least running neck and neck with sexual sins.. does anyone have any insight on the current mix of jc matters?

HDR photography anyone? (pics inside)
