Edward Byskal: Difference between revisions

Edward Byskal (Eddie) is the founding 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 new Church in Canada and a second in the United States).  Prior to the split, Ed Byskal told his congregation that if 49% of them voted for him to step down, he would.  More than half of his congregation left after he refused to acknowledge their concerns.
