The Christian Post reports:
More than two years after former teaching pastor Bruxy Cavey [photo] resigned from one of Canada’s largest megachurches amid allegations of sexual misconduct, The Meeting House has temporarily paused operations because no insurance company wants to cover its abuse liability or employment practices liability insurance.
“The historical incidents and allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse at The Meeting House continue to impact our church today in many ways, including how we are viewed by insurers,” the Toronto area Anabaptist church’s transition board of overseers and network leadership team stated in a recent email to congregants.
“We were recently informed that, effective June 30, our current insurer will not be renewing our Abuse Liability (AL) coverage, or our Employment Practices Liability (EPL) coverage. Our insurer is willing to renew all other types of insurance we require, excluding those two types of coverage,” church officials said.
From my August 2022 report:
One of Canada’s largest megachurches says it has substantiated sexual abuse allegations against former pastor Bruxy Cavey, including one involving a minor.
The Meeting House, which has 19 campuses across Ontario, recently revealed 38 sexual assault incidents by its pastors. Cavey first appeared on JMG in March 2022 when he acknowledged having committed adultery.
Cavey has a tattoo of Leviticus 19:28, which says, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.” According to Cavey, he chose that verse as the most emblematic of how Jesus freed Christians from the laws of the Old Testament.
Once considered Canada’s flagship megachurch, The Meeting House is now no longer able to get insurance and is forced to suspend ministry. A tragic end to multiple complaints of abuse and clergy sexual abuse.https://t.co/bG0n1XMIjQ
