The Causeway Coast Vineyard church says one of its former pastors is not responding to allegations.
By Robbie MeredithAn investigation into allegations against a former pastor of a County Londonderry church, and counselling for those affected, will cost about £30,000.According to CCV the allegations primarily relate to Alan Scott, a senior pastor there until June 2017.An interim review commissioned by the church identified "manipulation, inappropriate comments, narcissistic behaviour, and certain occurrences of public shaming and spiritual abuse".
Pastor Scott now leads Dwelling Place Anaheim, a church which recently disaffiliated from the Vineyard USA movement.The just-published annual accounts for Causeway Coast Vineyard said concerns had been raised about "Alan's conduct in the US and from his time in the UK". The statement said that CCV and VCUKI "acknowledge that wrong and hurtful conduct has occurred at CCV, and apologise to all those who were hurt, harmed, mistreated or in any way negatively impacted by their time at Causeway Coast Vineyard".It said the review had "identified themes and repeated patterns of behaviour including examples of manipulation, inappropriate comments, narcissistic behaviour, and certain occurrences of public shaming and spiritual abuse".
