Pastor quits Gaithersburg congregation, church-planting group over abuse claims against father
P.J. Smyth, lead pastor of Monument Church in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and a founder of the church-planting Advance Movement, left both groups Thursday after an independent report found Mr. Smyth had concealed knowledge of "sadomasochistic physical abuse" practiced decades ago by his father, Anglican leader John Smyth.
