Now a new scandal appears to have emerged, according to Patheos blogger Warren Throckmorton and Mars Hill observer Wenatchee the Hatchet.
A much-touted "Jesus Festival" event scheduled for August 22, 2014, has reportedly disappeared from the calendar of Mars Hill, despite the fact that it was held up as one of the reasons why the church needed to raise $2,000,000 "above and beyond our normal tithes and offerings" by the end of 2013. A link to the celebration now simply returns a 404 error page.
Throckmorton reported that a former member told him that the festival was canceled in the spring, following the news of how Driscoll manipulated sales to make his book, Real Marriage, a New York Times best-seller. However, no official announcement about the cancellation appears to have been made.
