Holding The Church Accountable For Abuse

Are there a lot of harmed people in the foundations of your church?

Because I analyze and critique religion, especially abuses within the church, I probably hear more about the people who are harmed than most. I get messages every day filled with horrific and heartbreaking stories.

And you don’t have to look far—just read the news. These stories of abuse and harm are refreshed daily. Some leaders and public figures will do anything to gain and retain their status and grow their ministries.

So, where are you in this? Are you at the top? Are you an abuser? If so, I probably won’t hear from you.

Or are you one of the bodies buried beneath the building? Have you been spiritually abused? If so, I’d love to hear from you.

We need safe spaces to be ourselves! The other day, someone told me to stop blaming the church for spiritual abuse. “It’s individuals!” they said. “People!” But they also insist the church is people.

This is why I claim that if the church is people, and it is people doing the abuse, then it's the church doing the abuse through the hands of its people.

The church is responsible for spiritual abuse.

This is what I'd like to help stop!
