Tom Lyon's Report, and AC Minutes
Tom Lyon's Report, and AC Minutes
"No attempt was made to return to the details of the circumstances at MVBC for the purpose of further investigation...I did
not counsel in regards to an identified sin issue or pattern arising from the particular circumstances that took place during
Tom's time in ministry at MVBC." [Counselor's Letter] Why didn't the counselor address the circumstances which led to
Thomas Chantry's departure from Miller Valley Baptist Church?!
The counselor had full access to all those materials submitted in the complete report, yet he never considered "the
possibility that on some level he [Tom] punished children for his own pleasure?" [Level 1 Report, pg. 4, item 5.]

Tom began
preaching in
September even
though his
counceling didn't
begin until
11/29/2001. Why
was he preaching
at all, let alone
BEFORE he
received any
counseling?!
