A group of about 65 people stood outside Mars Hill Church in Bellevue, Washington, Sunday to protest pastor and founder Mark Driscoll.
In a recent video, Driscoll acknowledged that church leaders had been dismissed abruptly. But former church members took issue with his claims about what hindered his response to criticism.
"One of the things that has been complex is the fact that a lot of the people that we are dealing with in this season remain anonymous," he said in a video posted on July 21. "And so we don't know how to reconcile or how to work things out with people, because we're not entirely sure who they are. And so that has made things a little more complex and difficult as well."
In response, former Mars Hill deacon Rob Smith created a Facebook group called "Dear Pastor Mark & Mars Hill: We Are Not Anonymous."
"Pastor Mark Driscoll lamented that he's confused and unsure how to reconcile with people who were 'hurt' by his actions because they are 'anonymous," the group description says. "This page exists for those who wish to lovingly help Pastor Mark by letting him know that they are not 'anonymous.'"
