Please note the document below filed by Thomas J. Chantry’s attorney, John Sears on June 27, 2018. This document is a list of individuals the Defendant planned to call as witnesses in his trial. On the top of page two you will see Mike Gaydosh is listed as one of the witnesses. Mike Gaydosh was never called, but the fact that Chantry was considering using him is very telling. Why? The man is a very sketchy character with close ties to the inner circle of ARBCA leaders.
“Michael Gaydosh Removed from Position as Senior Pastor of Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Merrick, NY
Michael Gaydosh, John Herringer and Scott Syracuse all members of the Board of Directors of Calvary Press and Elders of Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Merrick, New York, the corporate owner of Calvary Press were each successively exposed as unfit to remain in each of their respective church positions and subsequently removed from their offices over the few years following Michael Rotolo’s departure in July 1998. To this day none are employed in full-time pastoral ministry.
Most grievously, Mike Gaydosh was made to resign his position as Senior Pastor/Elder due to a serious moral failure by which he revealed himself to be biblically and morally unfit for service as a pastor. His sin of carrying on an illicit relationship with a young girl on his daughter’s basketball team, while in the position as coach of the team, is of the nature that would prohibit his future resuming of an elder/Pastor office in countless church denominations, regardless of any ostensible repentance.
Bearing that in mind, it has come to my attention that he has been or is currently seeking to resume an office of ministry at his local church.”

“Michael Rotolo is still working on a book that will detail the full story of the fall of the ministry of Calvary Press. It will detail the corrupt management of Michael Gaydosh, including his financial misconduct and backroom deals with well known Christian book authors such as Tedd Tripp of Shepherd Press.It will include the full text of the The Findings of Arbitration between Michael Rotolo and Calvary Press/Grace Gospel Church of Merrick, NY in which the arbitrator found in full support of Michael Rotolo and detailed myriad points of managerial misconduct on the part of Michael Gaydosh, John Herringer, and Scott Syracuse and which binding arbitration ordered a large financial restitution to be paid to Mr. Rotolo for damages he suffered at their hands.A chapter will be dedicated to the corruption within ARBCA, the Association of Reformed Baptist Churches, under the leadership of Earl M. Blackburn, Pastor of Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in La Mirada, CA, [Editor’s note: Blackburn is currently pastor of Heritage Baptist Church in Shreveport, LA.]who sought in the same way that Catholic Bishops often conspire to cover up the malfeasance of Priests, to cover-up the misdeeds of Michael Gaydosh and spare him from an inquiry within the ARBCA organization. An association of Reformed Baptist Churches, whose charter ironically stated that one of its chief reasons for existing was to mediate/arbitrate matters within or between churches or members of churches in cases where reconciliation had failed to be reached at the local level.This matter between Michael Rotolo and Calvary Press was the first case to be presented to ARBCA for intervention and the chief players within the organization, among them most culpable, Earl M. Blackburn, used their positions at ARBCA to literally squash the investigation that had begun by ARBCA once they determined that Michael Gaydosh, who had politicked tirelessly for the formation of the association, had in fact acted improperly with respect to Calvary Press and the fabrication of charges against Michael Rotolo in an attempt to silence his efforts at bringing Gaydosh’s unethical deeds to light.”Source: Rotolo Media
