The Christian Post reports:
Former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson, has pulled out of a line-up of speakers scheduled for Gateway Church’s “Let’s Dive In! Summer Series” in the wake of child sex abuse allegations against founder Robert Morris.
In a statement to CP on Monday, a spokesperson from Dr. Carson’s conservative think-tank, American Cornerstone Institute, said the retired neurosurgeon was asked to cancel his engagement at the church.
“Given the circumstances, the church asked us to cancel our earlier commitment in order to allow for the healing process to take place. We are praying for their community during this difficult time,” the ACI spokesperson told CP.
