To show a balanced view of the 2005 sexual abuse claims, the NZ Herald article on this should be mentioned with an appropriate reference. Thoughts? If added here, it should also be referenced in the equivalent part of the Takapuna Assembly of God article.

The Herald article on May 24 2005 says: "The Executive Presbytery, which is the Assembly of God movement's governing body, has been conducting an investigation into the matter since November. Mr Harrison said the investigation "has been considerably hampered by issues of legal and court privilege".
The abuse of a teenager occurred 20 years ago, but the victim has not complained to police. Both Mr Hughes and the victim have acknowledged some form of abuse occurred.
After a series of articles in the Herald, Mr Hughes opted for early retirement last month, citing personal reasons and concerns about how the publicity might affect the church"
Is it then correct to say in the article he has denied the charges ?? Circumspects (talk) 03:00, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
