Why are we surprised? They have shown who they are for a long time now. They’ve never even pretended it was ever the mission. We feel so much disconnect, to us, OF COURSE its the mission. To them… well, they’ve actually had a different mission ALL ALONG.

So there are 42 (!) sex cause lawsuits against the SBC for sex abuse? And it is distracting the SBC from its mission? So, preventing sex abuse is not part of the mission?

While I am grateful this story is getting national attention, my hope is for recognition that this scenario is not an isolated incident. It has happened before, it will happen again. The pastoral office is the perfect vocation for the worst kinds of evil to hide. #justiceformica

Though it is good to hear that the High Court admitted this was a grave error, it is an error that should not have been made in the first place. All too often victim's lives are put at risk to further an abusive man's right to contact!

People have no trouble believing a child when they supposedly ‘lie’ about abuse but no one believes them when they say they were abused.

Don't call this 'French cinema's MeToo moment' - these charges against Depardieu come from years of hard work and the sustained courage of so many women.

You break the cycle of abuse by holding perpetrators accountable. If you’re talking about breaking the cycle of abuse by changing the behaviors of survivors - you’re victim blaming.

Blue Sunday - Survivors need to hear that they didn't do anything wrong, and this is never their fault. They need to hear that this is their church and you're going to overturn the tables and cast out the abusers to protect them.

Child sexual abuse is an epidemic not because people won't stand against child abuse, but because people won't stand against perpetrators.

My abuser used to tell me that I wasn’t particularly intelligent, and I wouldn’t go far in life… yet today I gave a speech to a packed conference room on my experience of the justice system and how it must improve. I’m making change, while he wallows in prison. Girlboss moment?

Important reminder!

Let this be the first step towards greater accountability for law enforcement failures and unethical conduct - it's long overdue.

Thank you Caitlin Huey-Burns for covering this story, and graciously accommodating an interview from my car in the middle of my girls' ballet classes 😂

A huge thank you to Rachael Denhollander for speaking with us about the reported settlement. She was the first to bring Nassar's abuse to the public. Her bravery paved the way for so much and so many. Watch:

This evangelical is over Trump. 👇

Calls his Bible disgusting.

Worse than being told there is cancer in your body is being told, “There is no cancer,” when there really is.

Worse than being told there is abuse within your church is being told, “There is no abuse,” when there really is.

Please get best experts you can afford 💜⛪️🦠🙏🏼

It's been my absolute privilege to work with these three survivors for almost a year to reach this point. Their voices are powerful. UK's conduct since the first warning in 2012, must be reckoned with. NONE of these survivors should have ever met Lars...

When we've been conditioned to doubt ourselves, blame ourselves, & stay small & quiet-- as survivors of complex trauma have-- growing, changing, & finding our voice will feel terrifying. Awkward. 'Wrong.'

Don't get scared & quit. Your inner child needs you to be brave now.
