Baptist church pastor admits covering up his son-in-law's vile child sex crimes on two young girls for TWELVE years - and only told his parish after the paedophile deacon was jailed
Ebenezer Strict Baptist Church in Clapham, south London, is accused of covering up the historic sex abuse crimes of one of his son-in-law
Ben Kinderman, 39, was jailed for three years last year for sexually abusing two girls aged six and ten more than 20 years ago
But MailOnline has learned that the church pastor Philip Brunker sent his flock an extraordinary letter admitting he had known about Kinderman's past for years
In the letter, he said that Kinderman had confessed to his crimes in 2009 - yet still allowed him to join the church and elevate him to deacon
The letter was sent in April last year - only after Kinderman, a father of six, who is married to the pastor's daughter - had been jailed
The letter is said to have shocked parishioners at the church who were kept in the dark
Pastor Brunker is the father of Dr Joanna Main, devout Christian who sparked fury last week by banning a gay couple from viewing or buying her home

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
