E.R.B. V. Church Of God

John and Jody Bales appeal summary judgment dismissal of their lawsuits against: Rick Shaw, a minister at the Baleses' local church; the New Life Fellowship Church of God ("Local Church"); and the Pacific Northwest Church of God State Office and Parsonage ("State Office"). They claim Shaw sexually molested their teenage son E.R.B. from 1985 to 1989, and that the Local Church and State Office had negligently hired, supervised, and/or investigated Shaw. E.R.B. also appeals dismissal of his claims against the Local Church and the State Office.
