The above link is to a forum discussing a Church of God of Prophecy pastor who was recently arrested for ENTICEMENT OF A CHILD. I guess things haven't changed much since Vivian McClaughtery's days.
One of the most damaging issues with the COGOP is how homosexuals and bisexuals were able to become ministers and rise to high positions. Many of these were in the youth work, even becoming general youth directors in Cleveland, TN, such as Darrel Tabert and a couple of other. Some, like Dwight Lawrence, who was youth director in CA was caught, but not before he victimized many young men across the country. These predators were also evengalists and pasters. One of them reached the top in Greece, Chris Status, with victums in several countries, including the US. They, the homosexuals/bisexuals, used the ministry to get young teenage boys, but they also had/have a friends who are also like them, who they are on the "down-low" with. Some were married with children and their wives knew what was going on. There needs to be a "me too" which names these preditors in the COGOP.
This blog is for all those who have been hurt or abused by those in leadership at the Church of God of Prophecy. I hope that you understand that it wasn't your fault and you are not alone.
