Table of Evangelical Indiscretions
This table is very limited and does not record smaller indiscretions. Sexual assault in particular is hard to quantify since many victims are afraid to report their offenders. Cult leaders and those who the evangelical community would not consider being one of them were also not included. Also not included are faith healers.
