The alleged exorcism took place at Redberry Bible Camp, located 70 kilometres north of Saskatoon. WARNING: This story contains distressing details.
In addition to the alleged exorcism conducted earlier this summer, it's unclear how the man in question was approved to work with kids at the Redberry Bible Camp, located 70 kilometres north of Saskatoon. On the man's own Facebook page, he details a recent, lengthy history of pornography and drug addiction, domestic violence and firing from his previous job as a camp counsellor.
"I will tell you that we are investigating the situation.... I'm not prepared to discuss it at this point," Dick said in a phone interview earlier this month. "I can assure you [the worker] is not at the camp."Questions are being raised about the hiring practices at Redberry Bible Camp north of Saskatoon.
It's unclear how long the ceremony lasted, but at the end, the complainants say the man told the children he got rid of the demon that had possessed the child. He then handed his business card to each of the children, said the source. CBC News asked Redberry board chair Wayne Dick if any other staff were involved, how the man was hired, whether any medical care was provided to the child and whether exorcisms are accepted practice at Redberry, but he did not respond directly.Redberry is operated by the conservative evangelical Saskatchewan Mennonite Brethren and has been running since 1943. Partners listed on its website include other Christian groups and the Saskatchewan Camps Association, which provides accreditation.
He said his drug use worsened after being diagnosed with cancer, and he admits to "regularly abusing my girlfriend at the time with venomous words of death." One night, following a "drunken cocaine party," he went to his girlfriend's house, he wrote.
