Fundamentalism is never satisfied. It has moved right-ward, from the opinion that women cannot be lead pastors, to women cannot speak in public. This isn’t Christianity. This is a cult.

One of the most destructive myths Christian parents have believed is that (1) God requires them to hit small children & (2) there is a “right” way to do this that is not harmful. Neither of these are true.

Replicating these liturgies of spanking teaches children other things: +

So true

@EvangelicalsNow May I recommend also reading the article linked below? (To date @daneortlund appears to be entirely unrepentant)

I've learned that when a church involved in a controversy releases a statement, it might need a second look.

Here's how I decode what Naperville Presbyterian Church said about themselves - and @EKHyland

@pciassembly The @pciassembly & @UnionTCollege are being publicly humbled as the subjects of a criminal investigation by PSNI & statutory investigation by the Charity Commission. But they’re not humbling themselves - they prefer to continue placing their men on pedestals in pompous tradition.

The Presbyterian Church in Ireland @pciassembly @uniontcollege seemingly use NDAs to cover-up, allegedly pressuring those they’ve mistreated to stay silent, thus risking perpetuation of harm. #NDAfree https://t.co/4uvssnFvmY

@smyrl_steven @ProfMcClenahan @pciassembly @UnionTheology @UnionTCollege @PCIModerator @williamcrawley @BelTel Did @pciassembly @UnionTCollege @PCIModerator pause their “longstanding tradition” (as might’ve shown repentance, humility & wisdom in light of the ongoing criminal investigation of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland) ?
No, they did not.

1 yr ago, @pciassembly & @UnionTCollege conferred an honorary doctorate on incoming Moderator Rev. Trevor Gribben before he resigned in disgrace. Now @pciassembly (under criminal investigation by PSNI & stat. investigation by Charity Commission) pursue tradition, without pause.

[Jonathan Servus @JonathanServus]

@smyrl_steven @ProfMcClenahan @pciassembly @UnionTheology Here’s hoping @UnionTCollege & @pciassembly @PCIModerator take urgent action to rescind the disgraced ‘Dr’ Trevor Gribben’s 2025 honorary doctorate & pause for thought before granting one to the new moderator of a denomination under criminal investigation.

Ahead of the General Assembly, in a long standing tradition the Presbyterian Theological Faculty, Ireland conferred an hon Doctorate of Divinity on PCI's incoming Moderator, Rev Richard Kerr, as he takes up the Church's highest office next month: https://t.co/MRbe0YHKQA #PCIGA26

@pciassembly Oh yes! And when will the penultimate occupier of that same post be stripped of his Hon. DD given the disgrace he’s brought to PCI’s doorstep?

The Presbyterian Church in Ireland @pciassembly @UnionTCollege (under criminal investigation by the PSNI & statutory investigation by the Charity Commission for serious safeguarding failures, alleged severe bullying, cover-ups etc.) should be ashamed of itself. @BelTel #NDAfree

The same places that tell a woman "no" to ministerial leadership on ontological grounds seem unable to find the will to tell a man "no" based on disqualifying character

SBC is obvs example. Have seen it in the ACNA too.

All your gnat-straining is empty words in light of this.

[Jonathan Servus @JonathanServus]

@JusBrierley @JusBrierley you still say “a new awakening to Christianity is underway”. But I remain puzzled, as the latest surveys say church going is markedly declining & appear to show your so-called awakening amongst GenZ isn’t borne out by the data.
Who’s telling the truth?

It’s now been over a week since the verdict came in at the court case for Jonathan Fletcher. The legal system has spoken decisively.

But so far barely a single organisation or church leader in his orbit has apologised or expressed concern for his victims (until it’s amended…
