The question
Our church owns a lot that was cited for being an illegal dumping ground for railroad ties about 20 years ago. The state EPA inspected the site at that time and declared it waste-free; however, it is known to several individuals that the logs were actually buried on one end of the lot. That end is now covered by a stand of trees. I was on staff at this church for the last 10 years and heard rumors, but had no decisional authority as far as the business of the church was concerned and was basically told not to pry. I became pastor about two months ago and now am fully apprised that the rumors were true and want to make this situation right. What should I do?
