Leader of Sovereign Grace Ministries Takes Leave of Absence

FROM KIIITV.COM-

The president of Sovereign GraceMinistries is taking a leave of absence to deal with charges made
against him by former ministry leaders and pastors.
In a letter on the denomination's web site, C.J. Mahaney says the charges do not involve "immorality or financial impropriety."
But he says former colleagues have faulted him for "expressions of pride, unentreatability, deceit, sinful judgment, and hypocrisy."Mahaney writes, "I have been grieved by my sin and its effects
on others," and adds that he has confessed to some of those he hurt and has asked for their forgiveness.
Joshua Harris, pastor of Sovereign Grace's founding church in Maryland, told his congregation Sunday that the "entire denomination is being publicly spanked." Harris said he and other Sovereign Grace leaders share responsibility and will ask an outside panel to review the ministry's past and present practices.
