We agree with Jim Moran at SGM Refuge. Jim's counsel follows. "Forgiveness" is not, however, co-extensive with trust. That is, restitution and genuine fruits of repentence are in order, e.g. new leaders. Years of abusive patterns happened on CJ's watch. Having said that, we obscure the larger and better point made by Jim below. Now is the time for SGMers to talk to AoR.

All of this has been said before, but I wanted to make a final appeal. I believe that we have a once in decades opportunity here to give our input to an outside party in regards to our opinions and experiences with Sovereign Grace Ministries. Although Ted Kober communicates in an extremely gracious manner, (which is too gracious for some, given the topic) he has pulled no punches with SGM thus far. There is no reason to believe that he will not give an honest evaluation in the future, especially after hearing from hundreds of us. I honestly think that without knowing it, this time and season is the reason I started this blog. Please. Please send your feedback regarding SGM to AoR. The window is closing.

Phone interviews may be requested until November 30.
AoR hopes to complete phone interviews by Christmas, and will accept feedback forms (with no request for a phone interview) until the interviews are complete.
AoR hopes to deliver their evaluation report by March, and SGM has promised to publish it. They have kept their promise in this regard thus far, and I have no reason at all to believe that they will not publish the final report.
Please join me in this endeavor.
Feedback can be email to mail@hisaor.org or can be mailed to:
