[Church w/o Barriers @Equal_Church]

Incredibly concerned and disappointed that National Directors of Vineyard churches in the UK are retweeting the right wing, transphobic, anti-lgbtqi and fear-mongering documentary that is 'the War on Children'. It is anti-lgbtqi and trans propaganda, devoid of all love. 1/2

@MthrJacquiT Thank you. I needed that prayer today. Very much so.

@Richard52203400 @charliebelllive Yes.

@WalkerMarcus I. Yes? Does oestrogen come through a screen now ? Is it all lawyers or only female ones? What about menopausal women? Only from her and lawyers or are other professionals also able to transmit osteogen through air/ screens? Are they causing that oestrogen DOES make you a woman?

@MorrisonBeth The worse thing is, I’m not even surprised by the lack of accountability anymore. But when it is after an actual safeguarding review, it does seem a little incredulousz

[Church w/o Barriers @Equal_Church]

@MorrisonBeth I don’t have words for this. Utterly appalling move by s Yorkshire police, and presumably record keeping, potential cover up and lack of accountability measures by Hesley group. Leading to no justice for disabled kids but worse: those people free to go on to positions and abuse

If they silence you, it’s to protect the abuser.

If they limit your empathy, it’s to keep you on the abuser’s side.

If they tell you to move on, it’s so they don’t have to.

We have lied to and about victims—refused to believe them, sent them away, and blamed them as the cause of the problem—and in doing so we have blasphemed the name of our God. This means we have revered our systems more than our God.

[Diane Langberg, PhD @DianeLangberg]

In great systemic failure, many Christian systems have not only covered up for abusers, leaving many free to continue to abuse, but we have presented them as good, even godly, and kept them in high places.

@maggidawn I was wondering the same thing. It hasn’t happened to me before, I had A LOT of ash on my head. And it’s still a little burnt and I have a red mark. The ashes were burnt palm crosses but I’m wondering about the oil they were mixed with as a potential culprit if it wasn’t olive?

'Emotional abuse can feel like a thousand pinpricks; on their own, they are annoying but easy enough to manage, but when put together over yrs & yrs, a victim will eventually bleed out and die if they do not attend to them.' - Andrew Bauman, Safe Church. https://t.co/QgolWpmT26..

@lucaslarner Is terrifying. I have worked in and out of the school . Including with other experience of school / church violence in the past including near misses (where others were fatally injured/ but could have been many more victims) it’s very unsettling & feeling unsafe again.

[Women and the Church @WATCH_ACT]

We must never agree to “protect” the name of God by covering ungodliness, such as sexual harassment/misconduct. Jesus (Luke 12) says what is hidden in darkness will be heard in the light and Paul (Eph 5) warns us not to participate in deeds of darkness but instead to expose them.

@MollyBoot1 @SST_Theology That's brilliant Molly!

[Church w/o Barriers @Equal_Church]

@StEverild Apparently for some people mostly everything …… (sorry bad mood today)

[Church w/o Barriers @Equal_Church]

@oldenoughtosay Yep. And I’m still in trouble for it 20 years later & three weeks after slipping up!
