It shouldn't be a report, but a letter. Here are some guidelines: * Stick to the facts of what happened (don't wander off in different directions.) * State the misconduct. * Don't give the name of the person until the pastor is willing to meet with you to discuss the issue. * At the end of the letter let the pastor know that you are hopeful something will be done about the misconduct and sign your name and give your phone #. * Put into an envelope and put 'PRIVATE/CONFIDENTIAL on it. This means NO ONE should open that letter and this should be put on the top of your letter as well. This means this should not be discussed with anyone else unless you are informed first. Considering you didn't say what the misconduct was about there is just a sample and you can change it around: PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL Date: (name of Pastor and address if you choose to mail the letter and if you are mailing it then send it by registered mail because he will have to sign for it and Personal/Confidential is on the envelope.) The best thing to do is simply hand it to him, or leave it with his secretary (if he has one) or, on his desk if his door is open. Dear Pastor Smith: It is most unfortunate that I have to bring to your attention the misconduct of _________________(put in the blank what type of misconduct, but NOT THE NAME OF THE PERSON) towards myself (or another parishioner if that is the case.) I feel that this sort of action cannot and should not be tolerated in the church. I appreciate your time and am hopeful I will hear from you soon regarding this issue. Yours truly,

ANSWER:Someone needs to report him to the higher command. One can't be justify his place in the church by loosing his weakness. That is a big no-no.
An SBC pastor must have left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) prior to becoming a Baptist in order to be accepted as an SBC pastor. For a thorough discussion of the Masonic issue, read Dr. Gary Leazer's 1995 book, "Fundamentalism & Freemasonry: The Southern Baptist Investigation of the Fraternal Order." Leazer sees no conflict between Masonry and the SBC. The book was an extended version of his report to the SBC leadership.

If you can prove who did it then call the police and report it.
A) It depends what the 'badness' is. If it relates to sexual misconduct, especially if you suspect child abuse or pedophilia, go to the police or child protective services IMMEDIATELY. Don't even count to 10.B) As far as other things goes; if you don't like your pastor; you may wish to 'withhold' further financial support. If the whole congregation did that, he'd be in the unemployment lines looking for work pretty fast. That might even be the best thing for him/her.C) Other times you just need to realize that 'reporting' them, accomplishes nothing. Some of them, 'cover' for each other, by simply moving the bad apple elsewhere. Why put that on someone else? Maybe you should just be done with that church altogether, and go find another one; take your friends with you. And do a write-up in an editorial in a local paper.
