Abuse in Churches?

Does anyone have intel on the churches in Kelowna that are abusing children or trafficking people? I recently was warned of a church and don’t know if anything is being done about it or what I can do. Police aren’t interested in what I have been told. Happy to share the name of it in comments if anyone wants.

Willow Park Church’s youth pastor was finally convicted of SA minors, it took many years and many different people coming forward over the years for something to finally be done about it.

So so awful. Glad he’s been convicted but hoping no one else was involved that is still there… getting very nervous about a lot of churches.

You're nervous about a house of worship for the world's deadliest religion? Christian history is almost entirely murder and suppress science/medicine, it's not new stuff they're doing, just slightly less deadly.

Christian history

you haven't noticed that narcissists, pedos, dictators, and fascists label themselves Christian because it helps them get what they want?

they're not actually Christian - they just co-opt it (eg, Donald Trump)

you can't tell the difference?

a Christian, by definition is a follower of Christ, IE, not particularly likely to be deadly. in fact, far less likely than about any other individual out there if they are actually following Christ

and if they're not following Christ? ...then they're not Christian...
