Dear Brother KP and US and Canada Board Members,
As we understand from your last conversation with Larry, Gayle has been given responsibility to look into the claims we made in the letter, and based on his visit and initial fact-finding last week, he found that indeed abuse has occurred, that the claims of the letter are true, and that a root cause is the false teaching on spiritual authority that you and other GFA leaders have been operating by. He was also to contact me. I am looking forward to hearing from him.
Larry informed me that that you told him you would share with the staff in a series of meetings last week that 75 people had signed a letter, that these people were not enemies but dear brothers, that many of them were deeply hurt by GFA, and that the root of the problem was your teachings about spiritual authority. We have been told by our friends on staff that no such statements were made, nor was there any indication of a change in the staff’s or senior leadership’s perspective about us. Please explain your intentions and why you did not keep your word on this yet again. Our group is losing faith in your word.
We originally scheduled the 13th, next Monday, for a meeting, but time is running out to make that happen and I have yet to hear any confirmation about the date from you or any board members. If we do not hear confirmation within 24 hours, we will not be able to keep that date. We understand if the board needs additional time to process their findings, but we expect the courtesy of adequate notice so we can plan accordingly.
Please confirm today whether you and the board and leaders intend to keep the meeting for next Monday the 13th, and why you did not yet tell the staff what you said you’d tell them.
Thanks,
JD
