At least 40 former elders who previously served alongside disgraced former ‘mega church’ pastor Mark Driscoll have urged him to resign his pastoral post at The Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The group said they are troubled at his continuing ‘sinful leadership behaviours’ and criticised what they described as a ‘translocal’ advisory structure, allowing him to avoid accountability.
Mr Driscoll stepped down as pastor of Mars Hill church in 2014 following an investigation into his conduct and leadership style. Notorious for his crude, brash, domineering and abusive style of leadership, he had earlier been removed from leadership at the church-planting network Acts 29 which he had co-founded.
