@S_E_Tooth Noone quite could understand what I was trying to explain to people. And although a different experience to this in the article, I felt I was the problem as i spoke out. Since leaving, people become suspicious of your ‘soundness’ even more, especially as a woman! Let’s stop!

[chachamaids @chachamaids]

The bravery of @S_E_Tooth and others in this article is far more than can ever be seen. The courage to step out and bring the deep hurt and abuse brought to light against ‘power’ is far more than meets the eye.

I dreamed of attending Oak Hill for over 10 years watching my fellow male students go off there. It was the gold standard of educational establishments for ‘conservatives.’ I met amazing people such as @S_E_Tooth but left a broken wreck.

@PrettySophieK @LittleLauraMcK @S_E_Tooth Instead ‘we’ are gaslighted out of the institutions, treated like we're the problem or emotional and left to have to rebuild our lives with peoples suspicions that we’re no longer ‘sound’. It’s so ugly!

“I do not believe Oak Hill is a safe or good place at the moment, especially for women. I think it could be, and I pray it would be.”
Thank you @S_E_Tooth for courageously sharing your experiences 🙏🏽❤️

This blog is so sadly accurate in what happens when you challenge an institution. Lost friendships, reputational coverup, gaslighting, minimising, refusal to apologise, etc.

"It did not feel like Oak Hill was walking in the light...it was reminding me of things that have been mentioned in recent reports about serious failings in Christian leadership." This is tragic, deeply serious & important, but sadly unsurprising news.

Our latest Cambridge Paper by Krisztina Mair is on dark spiritual encounters and theology, and raises awareness of the spiritual and missional challenges given our culture's growing fascination with different shades of dark spiritual practices: 👇https://t.co/zN1WL3fkYU

Dear Complementarian pastors,

If you are outraged by Marion Edgar Budde’s comments, be outraged at the substance of what she said… rather than because she said it as an ordained woman. Make it about what it actually is, ok?

Sincerely,
Your Complementarian sister

[Sydney Tooth @S_E_Tooth]

One of the most striking things from the #Makin report is how repeatedly Smyth was offered mercy, leniency, and 2nd chances, leading to more & more abuse. The focus on forgiveness, on a desire to maintain his "usefulness" and not harm reputations, rather than justice for victims.

@glenscrivener This is SO helpful! Thank you!

Two different models of preaching — a short thread.

Here, in yellow, is how a lot of (evangelistic) preaching feels, both to Christians and non-Christians. Call it model 1. There is a thick black line called Decision and it splits the audience.

@KristiMair This is amazing

I got to speak on Eccls 1:18 in chapel on Friday.

Maybe this will encourage someone on here today.

If you're interested, here’s what the Spirit lay on my heart through the verse (short version) 🧵

@DanLeafe1 Instead diversity on boards especially encouraging voices where disagreement is safely heard ensures flourishing cultures at leadership level.

[chachamaids @chachamaids]

@DanLeafe1 I wonder if a reading of Matthew Syed's Rebel Ideas would help? Echo chambers are unhealthy places in all worlds. The illustration in the book of a plane crash where it was discovered the co-pilot was too scared to raise his concerns seems a perfect illustration and warning.
