September – A statement was released by the Church of England HERE stating that “concerns substantiated in Mike Pilavachi investigation”. xxx] While we’re talking about the Evangelical Alliance, Steve Clifford (Gav Calver’s predecessor at Evangelical Alliance CEO) was the Soul Survivor leadership team Chair, the Chair of Hope ’08, and the Chair of Soul in the City (according to his LinkedIn). Trent Vineyard – Debby and John Wright’s church (preached numerous times at conferences and as a visiting speaker over many years and opened the church’s youth centre). Earlier this week, Gareth made his company’s crisis communications course for churches freely available.

I feel for leaders…I hadn’t learnt the art of self-care… If I’m really honest I think leadership is broken in our society because we elevate leaders to a point where they can’t be vulnerable. Many other unknown cases of abuse and mistreatment at the hands of Christian leaders rumble on, as those who have been trampled drag themselves onward, their faith only a smouldering wick, for some faith has been totally blown out.September – The Telegraph published THIS article about Andy Croft’s apology regarding Soul Survivor. They stated, “We fully recognise that this statement caused great pain, disappointment, and confusion. Some Soul61 young people and those who previously worked at Soul Survivor also went onto be employed by Teafund within David Westlake’s team.

In a 2013 interview with Terry Virgo, Premier Christianity seems impressed with the international links the founder of Newfrontiers has made as part of his ministry. Vineyard, who used the baton with their Dream The Impossible (DTI) festival (which had previously taken place in May) by moving it to the summer. In 2011, Terry Virgo retired as the “apostolic leader” of New Frontiers, and at this point New Frontiers had 800 churches in 70 nations.

This situation affects us and if we don’t talk about it we run the risk of suggesting some things are “off the table” of discussion due to their sensitivity or complexity. I find it hard to believe that Nicky and others around him will not have at some point come across what Mike was doing or at the very least got wind of it. It’s the sleight of hand we don’t even realise we’re doing, the magic trick that relieves us of responsibility or concern.

The first will be last in the topsy turvy kingdom of the God who relinquished all power, all tiny and helpless, pushed out into the world by that woman of renown. It is a curious thing that both the SBC and Newfrontiers churches have greater confidence that God wants to keep women silent and powerless than they do in stopping men sexually or otherwise abusing children and adult members of their congregations. Driscoll was removed from the Acts 29 network he founded for bullying and abusing those in his congregation; and the statute of limitations meant a lawsuit failed against Mahaney for covering up male leaders sexually abusing children within his Sovereign Grace network churches. They haven’t destroyed their humanity by abusing us, raping us, bullying us, emotionally decimating us, spiritually controlling us.However, their statement did not include any details of New Wine’s relationship with Mike Pilavachi. In 1974, he began working with Fuller Theological Seminary and by 1977, the house church Wimber had grown in Anaheim (a town about 30 minute’s drive from both Los Angeles and Fuller where he worked) eventually became named Vineyard Christian Fellowship as it joined the Vineyard network which had been founded by Kenn Gulliksen. Given the priority given to worship music at New Wine and then Soul Survivor, Survivor Records was established in 1997 by Les Moir as a subsidiary of Kingsway Music (whose parent company is David C Cook), [xxvi] to bring the new worship artists at these festivals to a new audience.
