GCE Parole for Arthur Henry Plint (1998P116)

That the Moderator and the General Secretary write to the Parole Board to say that:

  1. while we believe in restorative justice, in the church’s recent experience with Mr. Plint in the Port Alberni trial, there was no evidence of remorse or substantial rehabilitation on his part;
  2. the church is aware of and supports concerns for the victims of Mr. Plint; and
  3. the church urge the Parole Board to deny parole until such time as Mr. Plint has shown genuine remorse and evidence of rehabilitation.
