To the Board of Directors for Sovereign Grace Ministries,
C.J. announced his leave of absence on July 6. He blog posted, “I’ve asked to take a leave of absence in order to give time to considering these charges, examine my heart, and receive the appropriate help from others…. In order for me to receive an objective evaluation in relation to these charges the board is securing the help of a third-party ministry that has no history of relationship with SGM. With counsel from that ministry, the board will determine the appropriate steps I should take going forward.”
Amazingly, that “third-party ministry” has recommended C.J. not receive an “objective evaluation” from them; but an evaluation from a SGM Board Member and four SGM pastors. It has taken two months to come up with this agreed upon proposal.
From the beginning, the MOST important ingredient has been the pursuit of outside assistance in order to secure an OBJECTIVE panel of men NOT ASSOCIATED with SGM in order to evaluate my charges against C.J. The Board has failed to do this in every respect. That is unacceptable.
