In this post I will continue to share the story of abuse suffered by Eileen Gray, previously a member of Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, USA, pastored by John Mac Arthur.
On February 20, 2004, Eileen Gray's husband, David, was charged with multiple counts of sexual and physical abuse of his children.
Five days later, Carey Hardy, an associate pastor at Grace Community Church, emailed a letter to the church. In the letter Hardy defends David Gray and challenges the credibility of David's wife, Eileen, whom Grace Community Church had shamed and ex-communicated 18 months earlier for separating from her husband. The letter states: "I'm sure you know by now that one of our own, David Gray, has been arrested. The accusations brought against him have to do with child abuse. Most likely, these accusations have come from his estranged wife Eileen."
In his letter, Hardy did not mention that three months earlier, David had filed for divorce. Hardy also claimed in the letter that David did not admit "any guilt regarding abuse of children." However, David had submitted a handwritten confession of abuse to Hardy during a 2001 counseling session, which Hardy had refused to look at.
Today David Gray is serving 21 years to life for aggravated child molestatiom, corporal injury to a child and child abuse.
He was denied parole for 10 years on 11 March 2022. Nevertheless, grace Community Church has been supporting David Gray while in prison.
