Alan Hugh Norman

Alan Norman, JD, is a Ruling Elder at Covenant Presbyterian Church (CPC), St. Louis, MO. As a Ruling Elder, he sits on the Session with eleven other men that act as CPC’s governing body. Subpoenaed documents from CPC, which the Ruling Elders never expected to be made public, reveal emotional abuse of... children, lying, harassment, spying, and an attempt to cover-up their actions. Lying Alan Norman approved of CPC senior minister, Ryan Laughlin, publicly lying to the CPC congregation about Laughlin’s relationship with Kelly Robinson, CPC Director of Children’s Ministries. Laughlin had arranged a house for Kelly to live in when she left her husband, Kent Robinson, and had 10.5 hours of phone conversations with Kelly until Laughlin’s wife learned about his relationship with Kelly. Coverup of child abuse, HIPAA violation, and a felony accusation Alan Norman was part of a secret CPC Commission formed to give Kelly “Biblical grounds” to seek a divorce. This Commission interrogated the three Robinson daughters knowing that there had been five hospitalizations for suicidal depression, four suicide attempts, and fear of going before the Commission caused the girls enormous stress. The Commission also interviewed Kent’s marriage counselor, Jonathan Hart, without his knowledge or permission and accused Kent of a felony in their report. The existence of the Commission, the Commission’s findings, and their report, were never mentioned in the Session minutes. Yet the Session minutes are detailed enough to list every man that prayed for Kent at the close of a Session meeting. Spying on Kent Robinson The Session assigned other CPC members to spy on Kent. One of these people was CPC organist Jonathan McGuire. It’s not known if CPC had Kent followed or used electronic surveillance methods. CPC harassed Kent Robinson Alan Norman participated in the harassment of Kent. Three previous citations from CPC had been sent Kent by FedEx, Registered Mail, and Priority Mail Express demanding he appear before the Session. The Session sent Ruling Elders John Dawson and Roland Van Heest to hand-delivered a fourth citation to Kent’s home demanding Kent speak to the Session. CPC has attempted to silence Kent Robinson The Session obtained a Restraining Order against Kent. In their pleading they stated, “The content of Petitioner’s publication is irreparably damaging to CPC, CPC’s congregation, pastoral staff, and Session.” Everything published by Kent was taken directly from subpoenaed CPC documents. CPC characterizes people learning the truth about their actions as, “irreparably damaging”; a tacit admission of institutionalized abuse and corruption. Summary Say “No” to child abuse and bullying in the name of God. Thompson Coburn has roughly 200 patent attorneys with probably 40 of them having expertise in engineering.
