:I think your suggestions for discussion are welcome, but I also think we should not discourage boldness in editing.  As for chronology, I think it mostly works, but I am ok with the introduction paragraph stating the current state of affairs in the church.   I also think "racist" statements need to be presented in context.  Some may call BY a racist for example, but if so, then you need to conceed that Abraham Lincoln is also a racists, because quotes from him are just as volitile.  Better we present all sides without judgement, and let the reader decide for himself.
