I believe the church did the right thing in removing him from his position, however, it also exiled him from his home town. The church not only wanted him out of the congregation, but out of site as well. He was in exile for quite sometime ( may be still) and was forced to move from place to place, and to depend on the kindness of others. All while the home that he and his wife owned (outright) sat empty.
I believe he is able to move back to Colorado Springs at some point if he hasn't already. In my opinion the church went too far on that one.
P.S. If and when Ted and his family do return to Colorado Springs, he is not allowed on church property.
