This story of Church sex abuse makes me vomit. If a Pastor is found guilty of sex abuse he should go to jail for years! My goodness! Any sex abuser should be locked up for many years! I turn 68 on July 4th, in all me years I never thought sex abuse insurance would be needed by a Church! WHAT???!! This is a key reason why the Church is losing its influence in the world! 46% Of U.S. Adults Now Unchurched. Sex abuse is one of the main reasons why people that have left the Church, they want nothing to do with organized religion. Sexual Abuse is a sin against God. Get out of your comfort zone and hit the streets of your community and minister to people, listen to them! Get out of your walls! Your not changing the world in by staying inside! Sharon and I just have come off a 3 day Great Commission trip into Catron County! It was awesome! We love to build bridges of love and trust! We met tons of people! JOY! We topped off our trip by preaching to a full house at FBC in Glenwood!

More than two years after former teaching pastor Bruxy Cavey resigned from one of Canada’s largest megachurches amid allegations of sexual misconduct, The Meeting House has temporarily paused operations because no insurance company wants to cover its abuse liability or employment practices liability insurance.
“The historical incidents and allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse at The Meeting House continue to impact our church today in many ways, including how we are viewed by insurers,” the Toronto area Anabaptist church’s transition board of overseers and network leadership team stated in a recent email to congregants.
They said that even though the church took significant steps to help prevent abuse and better protect staff, volunteers and congregants “over the last few years,” its current insurer still sees the church as a high-risk operation and will not renew its abuse liability and employment practices liability coverage.
