In Faith and Truth:
How is the democratically elected board you cite put in place?
Describe the democratic process.
Is there a general election that includes all members of "South Dakota Set Free" voting by secret ballot?
Is this process of democratic elections explicitly set forth in the constitution and bylaws of SD Set Free and conducted on a regular basis? What is the term an elected board member serves? How often are elections held?
Can the board fire Pastor Al?
Does Pastor Al have the power to dismiss board members?
Is the treasurer of SD Set Free elected to his office as treasurer, or is he appointed?
How can he be dismissed?
How is this set forth and explained within SD Set Free's constitution and bylaws?
Is there a published annual financial report distributed to all contributors by SD Set Free, which discloses how all the money is spent in detail?
Is there an annual financial report of SD Set Free, which is independently audited by an outside accounting firm?
When you say "voluntary umbrella of spiritual, financial and relational accountability" what does that mean specifically?
Does "voluntary" mean that SD Set Free may choose to ignore and not go along with whatever their "umbrella" the Southern Baptist Convention advises or suggests?
Does the Southern Baptist Convention specifically have the power to dismiss Pastor Al and/or any of SD Set Free board members?
What links does SD Set Free have to Phil Aguilar and Set Free in California?

Please help people that view this board better understand how leaders like Pastor Al at SD Set Free are actually held accountable and what meaningful system of checks and balances exists as expressed through a written constitution, bylaws, democratically elected government and published, audited and distributed financial reports.
