“I looked up to him, I trusted him...we as a church of all places should be getting this right.” Bravo @juleswoodson11! https://t.co/iICsKLdPCs

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

"We as a church, of all places, should be getting this right. It's unfathomable to me that the secular world is taking a stand. The church should have been the first group to stand up and say, 'We will not allow this.'"

So proud of @juleswoodson11

“Church is one of the least safe places to acknowledge abuse because the way it is counseled is, more often than not, damaging to the victim.” Powerful @garthstapley1 story @ModBee https://t.co/DJVIvjT4JT

A church leader (young or old) who sexually victimizes anyone (child or adult) should never again be in a position of leadership...ever.

[Sarah Burris @SarahBurris]

The head pastors of this church never told the police and never told their church about what happened. Now this guy has a mega-church in Memphis.

[Dr. Elizabeth Desnoyers-Colas @MOVEprofPHD]

@RawStory I hope this is the beginning of a floodgate of Women, men coming forward to tell how they have been sexually assaulted in all kinds of ways by Christian leaders. Catholic clergymen weren’t the only ones engaged in such depravity. The collective church still protects its own.

[Meagan Flynn @Meagan_Flynn]

Latest: A man who once worked as former Texas Justice Paul Pressler's personal assistant & attended his Bible study has accused Pressler of sexually assaulting him for years. It's the 2nd time the man has sued Pressler. The 1st resulted in a settlement. https://t.co/FOIyOy281W
