Mark Driscoll, former pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Washington, has filed a motion aimed at putting to rest the lawsuit against him by Mars Hill Church members.
As ChristianHeadlines.com previously reported, Driscoll has been accused
by a number of Mars Hill Church members of mismanaging funds. Other
allegations against Driscoll include racketeering, plagiarism, and abuse
of power.
Driscoll has called these allegations “false and malicious,” and is now
calling for their complete dismissal, according to blogger Warren
Throckmorton at Patheos.com.
Driscoll, along with fellow accused church leader Sutton Turner, has
called for the lawsuit to be dismissed because the plaintiffs did not
pursue their allegations, and it has now been more than 90 days.
Driscoll says his whereabouts are well-known and the Mars Hill Church members could have pursued the case had they wanted to.
Driscoll now resides in Arizona and is preparing to launch a new
church, The Trinity Church in Scottsdale, outside of Phoenix. The
church’s first service is scheduled for August 7, although an unofficial
service and meet and greet was held on Easter Sunday.
