I guess it takes a village to cover up 5 decades of clergy sexual predation at the USA's most famous megachurch. https://t.co/SUuhRnX64c

Many enablers @GLNsummit and @willowcreekcc exposed @ProtAccountDB

It’s the right thing to do, but he already caused so much harm and destruction. All enabling pastors who finally see the harm they’ve done should resign from ministry permanently. Ideally, they would also face some form of civil/criminal liability.

[Roys Report @ReachRoysReport]

In 2011, a man warned Dustin Pennington that the worship leader at his Atlanta-area church was molesting boys. Pennington didn't believe him, and didn't look into it.

He now believes the abuse continued for years because of that choice. He resigned from ministry in April and is speaking publicly so other pastors don't repeat it.

"I felt like a price needed to be paid," he said. "I needed to fall on my sword."

We have added over 300 names in the last 5 weeks, almost all from Submission Requests put in through our website. Over 3,000 entries now. Our hope is that by bringing these names and numbers to light, future victims can be prevented.

Is your church safe?

For 8 years, Mike Johnson was a trustee for the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. This raises questions about what he knew concerning the SBC’s clergy sex abuse problem — questions he should have to address.

Our database is growing faster than we ever expected—proving how deep this need is. But rapid growth means rising operating costs.

@SpiritualAbuse1 Thank you! 🙏❤️

295 of 2,863 entries in the Protestant Accountability database are labeled "mishandled allegations."

Common patterns:
• Keeping accused leaders in power
• Relocating them to new churches
• Prioritizing the institution over survivors
• Failing to report potential crimes

This is an excellent example of why the database is necessary. Too many slip through the cracks.
