On this episode, we’ll be discussing the rise and fall of The Meeting House, also known as the church for people who aren’t into church. A few of us at Two Rivers have been members of the Meeting House in the past. They had a number of their home churches in Guelph and throughout Ontario, until a sexual abuse scandal involving the lead pastor, Bruxy Cavey, rocked the church to its core.
Peter Schuurman is a writer, professor, Guelph resident and friend of Two Rivers Church. He’s written a book about The Meeting House, called The Subversive Evangelical, so we’ve invited him to discuss this story with us. What made The Meeting House so popular? Where did it go wrong? And what does it mean for the church today?
