Pure
I viewed a promotion for this CBC program, for the first time this evening on Hockey Night in Canada.
Cited
'Pure tells the story of Noah, a newly-elected Mennonite pastor forced to work for a cocaine-smuggling ring operating within his closed community.'
Forced? That does not seem too realistic to me. This is Canada (even decades ago), not the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany or the People's Republic of China.
'Set in Ontario, newly elected Mennonite pastor Noah Funk becomes entangled with a drug smuggling ring.'
'Noah tells himself that he’s joining the Mennonite Mob to gather enough evidence to put away the bad guys.'

Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2, present New Testament examples that Biblical Christians are to obey civil authorities, at least in the context of maintaining law and order. There is room for civil disobedience if this is required to maintain biblical Christianity.
A pastor or church leader being involved in crime to play 'Menno Cop' is not a biblical option.
