Controversy

He resigned as president of Vision Forum Ministries on October 30, 2013 upon confession of what he termed an "inappropriate relationship" with a woman.[7][8] On November 11, 2013, Vision Forum Ministries' Board of Directors discontinued operations in light of the "serious sins" which prompted Doug Phillips' resignation.[9] Vision Forum, Inc., Phillips' for-profit business, was closed after a liquidation sale during the last two months of 2013.[10] The liquidation included the sale of Jonathan Park (Vision Forum's creationist audio adventure series) to "Creation Works of California".

On April 15, 2014, Lourdes Torres-Manteufel filed a lawsuit, alleging that she had suffered years of sexual abuse at the hands of Doug Phillips.[11]
