Walter and Maria Nally of Tujunga have filed a motion in Glendale Superior Court requesting a new trial in their clergy malpractice lawsuit against Grace Community Church of the Valley. The Nallys have alleged that four pastors at the Sun Valley church provided incompetent counseling to their 24-year-old son, Kenneth, contributing to his 1979 suicide. Their suit was dismissed May 16 by a judge who ruled that any judicial effort to regulate pastoral counseling would violate the First Amendment’s provisions of separation of church and state.
