In this blog post I will contine to share on the abuse suffered by Eileen Gray, a previous member of Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California, USA, led by Pastor John MarArthur.
Eileen did not realise the severity of David's abuse until May 10 2001 when she found out her husband had put a sleeping bag over one of the children in order to kill the child.
Eilen then met with Grace Community Church Pastor Bill Shannon and another Grace Community Church leader and told them about her husband's abuse. In the first meeting Shannon did not offer to help. Instead, he accused Eileen of going to the law against a spiritual brother. Shannon added that the protective order she had taken out against her husband violated 1 Corinthians 7:10 which instructs women not to separate from their husbands. However, two days after the meeting, Shannon privately met with Eileen's husband David, and then the church arranged for Eileen to stay with a church family until the protective order went into effect. As a conditon of receiving this help from Grace Community Church, the church required her to attend marriage counseling with Carey Hardy who had no professional counseling credentials.
