Re: Biblical Mennonite Alliance and credential removal of past abusers

Someone else is calling for further investigation into how this was handled by BMA.

Up to this point, BMA has basically said, "We investigated ourselves and we found nothing wrong."

Re: Biblical Mennonite Alliance and credential removal of past abusers

And the entire structure of BMA so far has been to be very light and not top-down or heirarchical or powerful, yet you keep arguing for how it's important to recreate the Vatican. It seems they may have recreated the DDF, at any rate. Best post yet on this thread. I'm not sure whether to laugh or c...

Re: Biblical Mennonite Alliance and credential removal of past abusers

This happened at LOH. Concerns were being raised by caregivers and others well before the situation finally came to a head. Yet one of the most troubling things we have learned is that the committee sent to investigate apparently did not interview the LOH residents themselves. My conference operate...

Re: Biblical Mennonite Alliance and credential removal of past abusers

@ernie thanks for sharing that link. I was wondering where to start in replying to Grace. We have been talking about this in our newsletters for the last few years. Gatherings led by former students have been helpful by allowing us to hear what it was like to be a student in the residential schools...

Re: Biblical Mennonite Alliance and credential removal of past abusers

The question might also be who the feds might pursue? It might not be just the offenders. If executives knew and did nothing, they could also have liability. Remember BMA gave the orphanage a clean bill of health and then the children were removed by Mexican authorities for abuse and neglect. BMA l...

Re: Biblical Mennonite Alliance and credential removal of past abusers

That information is readily available on FB. Reference the official communication from BMA that's been posted online. It's speculation on whether or not the federal authorities pursue charges, not speculation that abuse occurred. The crimes have definitely been reported so it's a waiting to see if ...

Re: Biblical Mennonite Alliance and credential removal of past abusers

I guess maybe to a guy like you $4MM in net assets isn't much of anything. For some of us $4MM would count as something. What do they do with their $3MM to $4MM in annual revenue if they don't control anything? Something interesting shows up in Biblical Mennonite Alliance's IRS record online. BMA f...

Re: Biblical Mennonite Alliance and credential removal of past abusers

BMA is not a rigid conference-like structure, doesn't own much of anything, and doesn't control things like EBI. It's a voluntary association. Their power is limited to removing a listing in a directory - although "soft power" certainly counts too. I guess maybe to a guy like you $4MM in ...
