Driscoll and Mars Hill Removed from Acts 29

A Message from the Board of Acts 29 concerning Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church

It is with deep sorrow that the Acts 29 Network announces its decision to remove Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church from membership in the network. Mark and the Elders of Mars Hill have been informed of the decision, along with the reasons for removal. It is our conviction that the nature of the accusations against Mark, most of which have been confirmed by him, make it untenable and unhelpful to keep Mark and Mars Hill in our network. In taking this action, our prayer is that it will encourage the leadership of Mars Hill to respond in a distinctive and godly manner so that the name of Christ will not continue to be dishonored.

crazy. feel sorry for the guy but I think he got a bit too caught up in his 'persona'. he didn't come across as a 'broken and contrite' spirit.

Will Driscoll be removed from Mars Hill? I think that's a better question.

 

[AndOne]

I repented of Driscoll a couple of years ago...

 

[JM]

Ditto

Seems that way. Ya know - I was done with Driscoll when a few years ago he was on the Pierce Morgan show and got asked about what he thought of Kirk Cameron's stand on gay marriage. MD dropped the ball on that one when he told Pierce he needed to ask Kirk about it instead of taking a concrete stand on it and back a brother's play who was being crucified in the media for his stand on it. I knew then and there that Driscoll was off and was done with him then and there. Because of that none of this stuff going on with him now surprises me in the least...

Yeah I agree with you on that. Seems like he started off well but then went the way of a douche.
