Christian camp pastor and counsellor arrested for aggravated assault

A pastor, and a senior counsellor at a christian "boot camp" where the goals are to build character, integrity, and among other things, bring morality back into the lives of children, have been arrested for aggravated assault after tying a rope tether from a van to a teenage girl before dragging her along on her stomach several times.

Apparently the girl was running in an exercise at the ineptly named "Love Demonstrated Ministries" camp, but became tired.

Undoubtedly seeking to demonstrate their higher moral understanding and help instill greater morality in the girl, police allege that the counsellor held the girl down and yelled at her while the pastor tethered her to the van before they drove the van, regardless of whether she could remain upright or not, dragging her on her stomach.

Hardly what one could describe as religious people behaving in a morally acceptable way.
