A Valley Forge church has been implicated in a case of sexual assault
in Australia documented on the country's version of "60 Minutes."
The episode, which aired earlier this week,
featured Joy Harris, whose former husband Larry Harris is serving a
five-year prison sentence in Queensland, Australia for two counts of
rape against her, according to the show.
Joy Harris moved with her then-husband, Pastor Larry Harris, from the
United States to Australia in 1994, to serve as missionaries for the
Valley Forge Baptist Church, located in southeastern Pennsylvania.
According to the show, the church was referred to as a "cult" by former
members and is a part of the breakaway Independent Baptist Movement.

Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
