As my GetReligion colleague Bobby Ross reported, her speech was notable
for many reasons. She talked about God’s forgiveness, tossed in a C.S.
Lewis quote near the end, then added that she lost her church over the
matter.
That's news. Only Christianity Today really went after
what happened and named the organization: Sovereign Grace Ministries,
whose flagship church -– Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, Md. –- got hit with a sexual abuse lawsuit. Sovereign Grace Ministries issued a rebuttal on Feb. 13.
Sadly,
no reporters are pursuing what Denhollander is alleging: That Sovereign
Grace Ministries is really the tip of the iceberg and that sexual abuse
of the young in Protestant churches may dwarf the horrors exposed,
starting 16 years ago, in the U.S. Catholic Church.
