When Pastor Chuck Smith passed away last year, few expected a family feud.

Some of us had expected it...

"When an organization as large and powerful as Calvary Chapel is utterly devoid of checks and balances or doctrinal, financial, and moral accountability, the results will not be surprising: abuse, power-struggles, and the oft-unspoken fear of raising even the smallest objection to the whims of the powers that be."
-- Jason Spellman, former Calvary Chapel pastor, in Calvary Chapel and the Calvinists
"...the Calvary Distinctives [link now broken] are a whole lot different than the Westminster Confession. Anyone who reads the Calvary document should be troubled that Chuck Smith makes no reference to God as a Trinity, or to the Deity of Jesus Christ. You can believe in almost anything so long as you behave in the right way."
-- Alex Murphy, October 9, 2009

Dancing on the grave, Alex?

I wouldn’t think doing that reflects too well on Calvinism.

These didn’t click.

I just remember hearing Smith in the 2002-2004 time frame. I know he didn’t embrace God’s sovereignty, but wow!
