Canadian Apologist Claims He’s ‘Exonerated’ — But Former Pastor Says He’s ‘Permanently Disqualified’

July 2, 2021 by Staff

(The Roys Report) Canadian apologist Sye ten Bruggencate, who stepped down in March for “moral failure,” now says he’s been exonerated and hints he may return to apologetics ministry.

However, Bruggencate has declined to produce evidence of his alleged exoneration. And Bruggencate’s former pastor says the apologist is “permanently disqualified.”

Four months ago, Bruggencate announced he’d “been guilty of moral failure and will no longer be involved in public ministry.”

Bruggencate’s pastor, Steve Richardson, told The Roys Report at the time that Bruggencate had committed sexual sin with a “vulnerable woman.” Richardson added that Bruggencate went public with his confession after someone threatened to make Bruggencate’s sin public.
