SPINDALE – Former members of a controversial Western North Carolina-based church want the state to take legal action to overturn a court-ordered compromise they say has crippled child abuse investigations involving the sect.
The former congregants of Word of Faith Fellowship also want Rutherford County child protection agency director John Carroll to resign, saying he pushed for the 2005 settlement and has failed to protect children from abusive practices inside the church.
The ex-members said they are sending letters urging action to North Carolina’s governor, attorney general and state and county child welfare officials.
