Religion News Service reports:
One week after members of the Canadian megachurch The Meeting House saw their former pastor arrested and charged with sexual assault, their leadership revealed that not one but four of its former pastors have now been credibly accused — and two convicted — of sexual abuse.
At a church town hall-style meeting last week, The Meeting House overseers, as church elders are called, disclosed that a third-party victims’ advocate hired by the church in March heard 38 reports of sexual misconduct that had largely gone unreported to the congregation.

Cavey first appeared on JMG in March 2022 when he acknowledged having committed adultery. As I previously reported, Cavey has a tattoo of Leviticus 19:28, which says, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.” According to Cavey, he chose that verse as the most emblematic of how Jesus freed Christians from the laws of the Old Testament.
It’s not just Bruxy Cavey. Three other pastors at @TheMeetingHouse have been accused of sexual misconduct and two of them have been convicted of sexual crimes. https://t.co/wQgfCVq01u
