Last weekend, the Meeting House, once one of Canada’s largest megachurches, announced it was closing. “Going forward, there will no longer be churches operating programs or doing ministry under the banner of The Meeting House,” the church posted on its website.
The news comes after over a year and a half of reporting by contributing writer for The Walrus Rachel Browne, who wrote a series of articles for the magazine investigating the church’s troubled past and uncertain future. In February 2023, we published a major investigation into the history of allegations and convictions of sexual abuse and misconduct by former pastors at the church, including allegations against its former lead pastor, Bruxy Cavey.
