The intensity of the pain is such that if I let myself go near it my chest hurts and I feel as though I cannot breathe. Feedback from the congregation is often taken at some point in the process but the decision is really in the agreement of the elders, trustees, and apostolic lead. We can’t put our family members, church family, colleagues, friends or others in the Bad Place because we know that are capable of compassion and care for us. Particularly when there is so little attention being drawn to the reality of spiritual abuse and how churches and people with lots of influence are going to be working to understand it and deal with it.

September – The Church Times publish THIS article about New Wine announcing a review into their relationship with Soul Survivor.Commission 2022: In September 2022, Mike Pilavachi spoke at A Time of Refreshing, an event at Guy Miller’s Westminster Chapel.

When it’s someone that is ‘God’s anointed’, (the one that tells you what God is saying) perpetrating the abuse it’s extremely harmful and is what sets this apart from other types of abuse. I understand why people feel like they need to say this stuff but I really don’t think it’s helpful for the people that have been at the sharp end of it all.

As people become senior leaders in their organisations, they are rarely surrounded by people who robustly challenge them. You wrote about people quietly getting on with things but then listed a load of people with enormous platforms. Either advertising for this event on Twitter didn’t include Mike Pilavachi’s name or has since been deleted. This post has been written by a woman who reported her experiences with Mike Pilavachi to investigators.

These blurred boundaries, coupled with significant power create a culture that is ripe for power misuse. Those who are hurting or confused are left isolated as they waiting for their church/sphere/leaders to say the right thing about Mike Pilavachi.In the same way that every policeman in the Met hasn’t raped a woman, but some have, so lots of church communities and leaders are not toxic. This situation affects us and if we don’t talk about it we run the risk of suggesting some things are “off the table” of discussion due to their sensitivity or complexity. While I am truly grateful for the sensitivity and support of the diocesan and national safeguarding teams, this outcome leaves me questioning why I came forward, and whether the Church of England is a safe place for me. And the little ones weep and the little ones drown as the leaders place millstones around the wrong necks, while falsely viewing righteous anger as a new sort of crucifixion. July – The Telegraph reports HERE that the “‘toothless’ Soul Survivor abuse investigation has no power to punish” Mike Pilavachi.

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,and who meditates on his law day and night. Tom and Lesley who lead Croydon Vineyard, show HERE what it means to lead their congregation through a sensitive issue such as this. God of all that is good, holy, light, love, compassionate and just… hear my prayer and heal your Church.

In a 2013 interview with Terry Virgo, Premier Christianity seems impressed with the international links the founder of Newfrontiers has made as part of his ministry. July – John Ellis, musician who previously played guitar at Soul Survivor in the 1990s and founded band Tree63 posted THIS blog about his time at Soul Survivor and his reflections on Matt Redman’s recent statement. September – Premier Christianity published THIS article “Investigation finds Mike Pilavachi ‘used spiritual authority to control people’. I thought it would be useful to include a timeline of the Soul Survivor situation, for those wanting to get a sense of what has taken place and to provide a record as the situation continues to unfold.
