A few weeks ago Dave Harvey wrote Larry Tomczak and uninvited him to the SGM Pastors Conference in Gaithersburg MD in November. This represented a complete turnaround by C.J. and the SGM Board who were swinging from the rafters in July over the reconciliation that occurred between Larry and C.J.
C.J. invited Larry and Doris as his special guests and extoled the “unique joy” it will be to “welcome them back at this conference.” Well, the homecoming has been cancelled. No red carpet will be rolled out for Larry. I’m afraid, Larry is back in C.J.’s dog house. Here’s the email and blog post history.

Brent,
It is my joy to give you a brief update on what has taken place between Larry, Doris, Justin and me. After a series of meetings where every issue was discussed and addressed, specific and appropriate confession was made and forgiveness graciously extended, we have all been reconciled to each other. It has been a humbling, redemptive and wonderful experience for us all and I am deeply grateful for and indebted to Larry, Doris and Justin for their humility, kindness, graciousness and forgiveness.
At the conclusion of the process we all agreed that it’s neither wise nor appropriate for us to reveal all the specifics of our interactions with each other. We simply want to inform folks that we have addressed all pertinent issues, forgiven each other and been reconciled by the grace of God. And we hope everyone will rejoice with us in our reconciliation. I have asked Larry and Doris to be my guest at the November Pastor’s Conference and they have gladly accepted my invitation. It will be a unique joy for us to welcome them back at this conference.
In my last conversation with Larry he wanted me to convey to you his desire to meet with you and there is a possibility he will be in Charlotte sometime soon. Larry wanted me to tell you that he would love to get together. I hope you do. Please let him know if this would be your desire.
Because of the Cross,
C. J.
