 Jeromy Darling writes this on his Instagram page about his father's dubious background:
 "Slander is a kind of murder; for we all have three lives--a spiritual life, which depends upon the Grace of God; a bodily life, depending on the soul; and a civil life, consisting in a good reputation. Sin deprives us of the first, death of the second, and slander of the third. But the slanderer commits three several murders with his idle tongue: he destroys his own soul and that of him who hearkens, as well as causing civil death to the object of his slander" – St. Francis de Sales
 
 January of last year my parent’s civil lives were assassinated. They spent their 39th year of marriage in total isolation, cast aside by vicious slander. Today, in a beautiful act of defiance, they celebrate 40 years of marriage.
 
 There’s something special about the number 40 – you’ll find it all throughout sacred history – and I believe this year will bring renewal for them. I have never in my life met more brave, humble and incredible individuals as my mother and father and I’m quite sure I never will. By the grace of God and their sheer, unrelenting determination, they are back from the dead. Every moment of their new, post-assassination life is a loud, burning rebuke to the slander they endured. Not a day of my life goes by that I don’t reflect on how blessed I am to be their son.

 Mark and his son Jeromy will always be know for their sexual exploits. Why would the Evergreen Church disavow Mark if it were the other way?
