The name of Mars Hill Church senior pastor Mark Driscoll has disappeared for promotions for several Act Like Men conferences, mass almost-all-male gatherings around the country at which Driscoll has been a mainstay.

“Not sure why, but Mark Driscoll is no longer on the schedule for Act Like Men conferences slated for November 14-15 and May 15-16,” reported Warren Throckmorton, a college professor who writes for Patheos and is a redoubtable Driscoll critic.

Act Like Men advertises itself thusly: “Join two-day conferences for thousands of men with one purpose, one goal: to Act Like Men. Get ready to be taken apart and put back together again.”

The conferences cost $89 (in advance) to $109 to attend, and bring together leading evangelical preachers from around the nation.

Driscoll was a marquee preacher on programs for four upcoming conferences: Phoenix on Oct. 3-4; Dallas-Fort Worth, Nov. 14-15; Miami, Feb. 20-21, 2015; and Chicago, May 15-16, 2015.

Other speakers familiar to the conference, including longtime associates of Driscoll, remain on the programs. Notable is James MacDonald, senior pastor of the Harvest Bible Church in Chicago, who resigned from the Mars Hill Church Board of Advisors and Accountability last month.

The program talks about the need for “men who are loud and ruthless about their own sin, but patient and full of grace in leading others.”

Driscoll has faced multiple criticisms from former members of his church, including ex-pastors and program directors, that he acted impatiently, gracelessly and abusively toward those in his flock who evince the slightest degree of disagreement.

In addition, critics “outed” an essay that Driscoll wrote in 2001 for a Mars Hill chat board. Using the pseudonym “William Wallace II,” Driscoll decried what he called a “Pussified Nation” of those who sit quietly by while men are “raised by bitter penis envying feministed single mothers” who teach them to pee sitting down.

The rant, for which Driscoll apologized, has been followed by a succession of repercussions.

On Friday, Driscoll and Mars Hills were booted out of Acts 29, a nationwide “church planting” network that has embraced more than 500 congregations. Driscoll was a co-founder. The 15 Mars Hill churches were removed from the Acts 29 website.

Seven directors of Acts 29 wrote a letter to Driscoll urging that he leave the ministry for an extended period and seek help.

The Lifeway network removed Driscoll’s books from its shelves while in its words, “we assess the development of his ministry.” Lifeway operates 180 Christian bookstores around the country, and is associated with the Southern Baptist Convention.

Driscoll has authored or coauthored 15 book.

The senior pastor has written a series of mea culpas to his flock, including admitting that it is impossible to be both a “celebrity” and a pastor. He has promised to work on being a “loving pastor,” and to refrain from social media for the remainder of 2015.

Driscoll has enjoyed a meteoric rise in America’s evangelical community, from a congregation co-founded 18 years ago in his living room to 15 churches in 5 states, and a claimed membership of 14,000.

He is now going through troubled times.
