As her father hammered wooden stakes into the ground around the perimeter of their south-east Victorian town, Clare Heath-McIvor decided that something wasn’t right.
As she followed strict instruction to pray in tongues and sing ‘He is Lord’, she prayed to God that no-one saw her.
Despite being home schooled, it dawned on her that other families and church congregations weren’t circling the town to take “prophetic action” to rededicate Sale to God.
It was Remembrance Day in 1997, and it marked the start of Ms Heath-McIvor’s questions about the way her father, Pastor Brian Heath, ran his conservative City Builders Church.
For years, Ms Heath-McIvor has written anonymously about her father’s church on her blog under the pseudonym Kit Kennedy, but last month she unmasked herself on social media amid accusations the church is trying to infiltrate and control the Victorian Liberal Party.
