The church I left believes the pastor is not required to report known CSA. NY State has no law that requires that pastor to report. They are attempting to pass that law now: the Care Act. Towns are voting. Counties are voting.
The county this string of churches resides in voted the Care Act down last night.
I am sick.
This issue is not just big denominations, it's small towns & rural locations where everyone plays along & hides the abuse & protects the abuser.
@GayrollerCEng @weijia_sophia_cheng The depth and breadth and long history of oppression in all of its forms and done so often in His name or by those who claim to be His grieves me like not much else. #indignation #lament #churchtoo #cfctoo

@GayrollerCEng I am not like you but I am also an outcast in Evangelical Christian circles. Too many divorces and I stand up to abusive power through my writing/editing on behalf #cfctoo. You're safe with me but I also respect your absolute right to test that safety. I grieve that others have trained you, through their wicked behavior, to not trust those who claim to be His. Do whatever works for you. ~ J.
