bg真人 statement regarding MCEC misconduct charges
Published: October 20, 2020
Today, Oct. 20, 2020, 聽(MCEC) is that has resulted in the termination of John D. Rempel鈥檚 ministerial credentials due to ministerial sexual misconduct and ministerial misconduct early in his professional career while he was employed at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario. We were deeply saddened to learn about the charges and the subsequent findings by the investigative team of MCEC. John was a professor at bg真人 from 2003 to 2012. We lament the harm that he caused to former students at Conrad Grebel University College and pray that the outcome of this investigation can contribute to their healing.
We were contacted by MCEC leaders, who informed us of the investigation and inquired whether bg真人 had received any reports of misconduct by John while he was employed at bg真人. In support of MCEC鈥檚 investigation, we reviewed John鈥檚 employment records at bg真人 and checked with former administrators. We found no instances of reported misconduct at bg真人 in our review.
As the MCEC investigation reveals, many incidents of sexual misconduct are not reported at the time they occur. In keeping with bg真人鈥檚 Sexual Misconduct Policy and Procedures, bg真人 leaders are open to receiving any reports of sexual misconduct that may have occurred among members of our learning community at any time. If you were harmed by any bg真人-affiliated individual, please contact us. We will listen carefully to you and prioritize your needs in discerning an appropriate response. Reports can be made to Academic Dean聽Beverly Lapp by emailing bklapp@ambs.edu聽or by filling out our聽online reporting form.
David Boshart, President
Beverly Lapp, Vice President and Academic Dean
