Many of you have asked for a copy of the Saddleback Staff Ten Commandments mentioned in the podcast. Here you go!
- Thou shalt not go to lunch alone with the opposite sex. *
- Thou shalt not have the opposite sex pick you up or drive you places when it is just the two of you.*
- Thou shalt not kiss any attender of the opposite sex or show affection that could be questioned.*
- Thou shalt not visit the opposite sex alone at home. *
- Thou shalt not counsel the opposite sex alone at the office, and thou shalt not counsel the opposite sex more than once without that person’s mate. Refer them.
- Thou shalt not discuss detailed sexual problems with the opposite sex in counseling. Refer them.
- Thou shalt not discuss your marriage problems with an attender of the opposite sex.
- Thou shalt be careful in answering emails, instant messages, chatrooms, cards or letters from the opposite sex.
- Thou shalt make your co-worker your protective ally.
- Thou shalt pray for the integrity of other staff members.
* The first four do not apply to unmarried staff.

These ten commandments for saddleback staff are very good. But I think that while the first part of number 5 is a basic Christian counseling etiquette which applies to both married and unmarried, why do you say nos. 1 – 4 DO NOT APPLY to unmarried staff when in fact they are more easily prone to sexual temptaion??

I agree with Paul Achem.
