November Newsletter 2014
During the coming liturgical season, as clergy we take this time to reflect on the service we provide. God has entrusted us on the most precious assignments, the spiritual well-being of His flock. However, pastors and those with families live under incredible pressures. We live our lives in a fishbowl with the entire congregation and community watching our every move.
HEART BREAKING NEWS: Over 50% of our fellow ministers are under some sort of attack everyday throughout the world. Our soul and that of our congregations and families are at risk from attacks that cause 2,000 clergy world-wide to leave ministry each and every month, (pew research, 2013). This recent published study, data and alarming clergy statistics do not lie. As ministers we need be very, very concerned for our own physical, emotional and spiritual health. Therefore, in conjunction with the Ecumenical Educational Council, we highly recommend you acquire a documentary that will assist you and your congregation prior to and during time of turmoil.BETRAYED: The Clergy Killer’s DNA. www.betrayedthemovie.com is the #1 religious documentary of 2013-2014.
When our physical, emotional and spiritual health is at stake and eternity is in the balance, we should all be concerned. Please take one minute and read a summary of the documentary.

In the past several weeks, I have been contacted by hundreds of clergy, from many denominations, expressing their gratitude for what is being called "a film, long overdue" and the most important Christian movie since "The Passion of the Christ." Pastor Andy Quient, Baptist minister and talk show host on KLAA in Los Angeles, agrees! He says, "We have to get this film into the hands of congregations, into synagogues, into churches, the parishes. Whatever your denomination, you have to have it!"
Rev. Dr. Richard Land, retired president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, SBC, saw this movie twice! He says "I would really encourage ministers to get a copy. Show it to your fellow ministers."
Rev. Dr. Donald Hicks, Associate Dean of Liberty University Home Bible Institute, couldn't agree more: "I recommend that all Christians, pastors and clergy, church leaders and church members, see this movie so they will develop an increased alertness in order to expose and neutralize the clergy killers before they destroy any more clergy....!"
I pray you will join the growing number of men and women who are finding this film to be of paramount importance for healthy congregational life and a tremendous resource for overworked clergy who are often targeted by clergy killers. I highly suggest you order a copy of BETRAYED: The Clergy Killer’s DNA today, for yourself and congregation, it is available at: http://www.betrayedthemovie.com
Last week's Ecumenical Educational Council Conference generated more online responses than ever before! Our radio show listeners also confirmed their overwhelming interest. 100% of people, who called or emailed us, said that they have experienced clergy killer attacks firsthand or knew of a pastor who left the ministry because of relentless attacks at the hands of clergy killers. The majority of these same people believed their experiences were isolated incidents, and never considered them part of a larger world wide pandemic known as the Clergy Killer Phenomenon.
BETRAYED: A Clergy Killer's DNA is opening the eyes of many Christians and they are hearing in dolby surround sound and seeing in technicolor what the majority of today's clergy must endure if they are to remain in active ministry.
Personally speaking, I have prayerfully discerned that God is asking us to help educate Christians everywhere about the Clergy Killer Phenomenon. It is not my own opinion, but that of many ordained and lay people alike, that this documentary was inspired by the Holy Spirit and is one of the great Christian weapons to be used against evil today. I hope you will join The Ecumenical Educational Council and us in our ministry and help spread the news by ordering your copy today. Share it with your fellow ministers and laity.
Watch the trailer and see for yourself why people are saying this movie will make a monumental, positive impact and save many congregations and vocations!
Please help the Ecumenical Educational Council and The New York Theological Institute spread the word. Forward this newsletter on your facebook, twitter and email accounts. I promise, someone you know personally, will be most grateful. Comments or questions - you may contact me at the below address. Enjoy this Thanksgiving weekend in prayerful reflection of His grace.
In His service,
Rev. Dr. David Moreland
