Doug Phillips of Vision Forum resigns

“I have stepped down from the office of president at Vision Forum Ministries and have discontinued my speaking responsibilities… There has been serious sin in my life for which God has graciously brought me to repentance.” Statement of Resignation

Discussion

In light of the serious sins which have resulted in Doug Phillips’s resignation from Vision Forum Ministries, the Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of all involved to discontinue operations. We have stopped receiving donations, and are working through the logistical matters associated with the closing of the ministry. While we believe as strongly as ever in the message of the ministry to the Christian family, we are grieved to find it necessary to make this decision. We believe this to be the best option for the healing of all involved and the only course of action under the circumstances. http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/news_and_reports/the_closin…

This doesn’t surprise me. Ministry to families is what VF is most known for, and Doug Phillips is such an integral part of the VF ‘brand’ that I can’t imagine VF being able to stay in business.
