Abuse in Fundamental Baptist Churches

I missed this 20/20 episode when it was originally aired a couple of months ago.  ABC’s Elizabeth Vargas and 20/20 took a look at stories of abuse in Independent Fundamental Baptists (IFB) Churches.  I found it through a commentary at the blog Stuff Fundies Like.  Here’s the episode:

 

You can find the print version HERE.

And additional discussions about the subject can be found at Sharper Iron, Fundamentally Reformed, and Pensees.Pastor Charles Chuck Phelps testifies during the Abuse in Fundamental Baptist Churches

Just to be fair…You can read Chuck Phelps’ response to the expose’ at his personal website (which appears to be set up just for this purpose).

If you grew up in Fundy circles like I did, I’m sure you know of similar stories. If you’re still trapped in fundyland, the altar is open…”behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Cor 6:2b)
