Guideposts to Meaning: Discovering What Really Matters

Product Information

Sweat was assistant superintendent from 2008 to her retirement. Before that, she worked in special education at Grosse Pointe Public Schools and Lake Orion Schools, according to the Clarkston News. A secular company, Guidepost has become a go-to firm for some evangelical groups dealing with the issue of sexual abuse, including Ravi Zacharias International Ministries and the SBC’s Executive Committee. Several state SBC conventions also hired the firm to work on their abuse reforms.

As an abuse survivor, I grieve with all Southern Baptists over every incident of sexual abuse,” Stone said. “At the same time, it is disappointed to see real concerns mingled with false accusations. Further, it is sad these erroneous charges warrant clarification at a time when Southern Baptists should have been allowed time to prayerfully consider the weighty matters before us.” Guideposts is committed to seeking excellence in its practice and services.

I walked in the first meeting and said that one thing I ask you to do, please find anybody other than Guidepost Solutions to do this,” he said in a mid-March Baptist gathering. “And every single one of them said that’s our top goal.”Throne should have ensured this was done, but he did not, according to the report. Throne was not immediately available for comment. Our services offer a range of support both 1:1, or small group work within our building based services, our virtual offering or out in the local communities. The board also failed when it declined to require the shooter’s counselor, Hopkins, to speak with Guidepost as a condition of his employment, even though it had the right to do so, the report noted.

My desire is to lead and shepherd our congregation with grace and biblical integrity.

Guidepost Solutions also was the firm to which convicted rapist, Harvey Weinstein, turned in 2020 to investigate people Weinstein thought were talking to media about his sexual conduct with women. Take responsibility for making day to day decisions on operational matters, ensuring the effective running of the service. The decision by Ejak and Hopkin to let the shooter return to class without elevating the issue to Oxford High School Principal Steve Wolf or an assistant principal “fails the common sense test,” according to the report. There were sufficient warning signs and red flags that should have led them to talk to someone about initiating a threat assessment, Guidepost investigators wrote. Also concerning are allegations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that Guidepost Solutions’ founder, Bart Schwartz, has engaged in misconduct.Guidepost found that the board failed in oversight of the district’s superintendent, who failed to make sure district policies were being followed. While Throne said Sweat and Lemond were involved with threat assessment policy, Lemond denied responsibility for it. Sweat refused to speak to investigators. No assistant superintendents interviewed by Guidepost accepted responsibility for threat assessments, which is a “serious breakdown.” Current SBC President Bart Barber told a gathering recently that he asked the current task force, which he appointed, not to work with Guidepost because of the controversy.

Despite concerns that the shooter might hurt himself, Hopkins did not ask him or his parents about access to a firearm and allowed the shooter to return to class on Nov. 30. The district’s previous suicide intervention guidelines had not been updated since 2011 and did not meet the best practices as of November 2021, according to the Guidepost report. They did not include any direction for “lethal means counseling” or asking a student’s parents whether they had access to firearms. An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Hub in Chipping Norton, where adults with learning disabilities meet together to have fun, be creative, learn new skills and get out and about in the local community. Promote the service within the local community and across Oxfordshire to potential new service users, their supporters and other stakeholders.Although Sweat retired in January 2021 and wasn’t working at the time of the shooting, Guidepost Solution investigators considered her responsible for creating a district response plan for the aftermath of a crisis, including student suicides. NASHVILLE (BP) – The names of numerous Southern Baptist leaders appeared throughout the lengthy report made available May 22 by Guidepost Solutions on the subject of sexual abuse allegations and the SBC Executive Committee. Although at differing levels of involvement today, each factored into the investigation’s scope of Jan. 1, 2000, through June 14, 2021. My desire is to lead and shepherd our congregation with grace and biblical integrity. We do not and will not tolerate abuse of any kind and desire complete transparency and accountability. Throne was superintendent of Oxford schools from May 2015 through March 2022 and had been with the district since August 2000. He had already been planning to retire before the shooting. A nation’s political and military leaders must objectively seek out and use history's lessons as guideposts, capturing and applying lessons learned from the most repeated, catastrophic missteps of others to remain adaptable to future warfare's most probable scenarios. History matters more in avoiding past catastrophes than predicting specific events years into the future. As British soldier and military historian B.H. Liddell Hart concludes, “the value of history is in the countless repeated ways things can go wrong.”[3] This piece examines recent thinking and planning examples to better understand how states effectively envision future warfare by examining their performance in past and present conflict to include how lessons learned were applied by the countries in focus, or not. The Curious Case of Azerbaijan

Several megachurch pastors, including Willy Rice, a failed SBC presidential candidate, criticized the decision to work with Guidepost and warned it might lead to their church rethinking its giving to the denomination. Rice dropped out of the presidential race last year after news became public that his church had a deacon with an abusive past. The HSE Officer will report to the CEO and support the development and maintenance of the Health & Safety and Environment policy for the Charity. Almost immediately, critics of the report and state Baptist leaders began calling for the convention to dump Guidepost. Southern Baptists believe any sex outside a heterosexual marriage is sinful and have expelled churches in the past for having gay members. We appreciate the monumental task faced by Guidepost Solutions and its effort in a very short time to distill over 20 years of events into a single report. However, we believe the report contains misstatements of fact and quotations from us which are misleading because they are reported out of context. My greatest memories will be all of the wonderful staff, mentors and families that I have met throughout my career,” she told the Oxford Leader. “I will always be thankful for the opportunity to work as a public educator.”Throne performed a variety of roles in the district before ascending to superintendent. He was deputy superintendent from July 2014 through May 2015, executive director of strategic initiatives and technology from September 2010 through July 2014 and director of technology from August 2000 to August 2010.
