Edward Byskal (Eddie) is the recently retired pastor of [[Cloverdale Bibleway]]. The church has suffered in the last years with a departure of the senior church leadership en masse in October, 2009, after allegations surfaced that Byskal covered up the sexual abuse of a minor that took place in the church. Two new churches were established by those who no longer had confidence in Byskal's leadership (one in Canada and one in the United States). Prior to the split Ed Byskal told his congregation that if 49% of his congregation wanted him to step down, he would. More than half of his congregation left after refused to acknowledge their concerns. | Edward Byskal (Eddie) is the recently retired pastor of [[Cloverdale Bibleway]].
