It is good that he assures us his sympathies lie with those who have been troubled or traumatised, but to only apologise for the dismay he may have caused, and not for what he actually did is rather disingenuous. Those observing, when in their own workplaces, churches or ministry contexts will have a sort of “blueprint” for knowing whether their leaders are trustworthy by whether they model that same welcome of challenge and seeking to do better when they mess up.
