Leave of Absence
In June 2011, C.J. Mahaney voluntarily took leave of absence to examine charges made against him and made public through a 600 page document written by Brent Detwiler. In February 2012, the board of directors at SGM published its findings. They said: "After examining the reports we find nothing in them that would disqualify C.J. from his role as president, nor do they in any way call into question his fitness for gospel ministry." Mahaney has been reinstated as the president of the organization.

“Respect is not fear and awe; it...[is]the ability to see a person as he is, to be aware of his unique individuality. Respect, thus, implies the absence of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for his own sake, and in his own ways, and not for the purpose of serving me.”
—Erich Fromm (20th century)
