- Notes
- "I have never been so despondent about the leadership of our Church as I am today. Arrogance, carelessness, incompetence and lack of commitment to the gospel way are all on full display by the primate and the general secretary in their handling of the draft 'Epiphanies' article on sexual misconduct across the church (www.anglicanjournal.com/what-happened-was-gravely-wrong)". "For decades, survivors of clergy abuse, their loved ones and advocates have cried out for the church to start prioritizing the care of vulnerable people over the protection of abusers. And yet we continue to consult with lawyers and insurance agents for our processes rather than professionals in sexual violence or, even, survivors themselves. We have worked tirelessly, parish by parish, diocese by diocese, institution by institution, to change the process to stop harming survivors. It hasn't worked. Maybe, now, it is time for change at the top".
