Dear @SBCExecComm: When you meet next week, how about speaking directly & transparently to these 5 questions & requests? All are within your power. 🧵1/7 #SBCtoo #SBCreckoning #ThisistheSBC @williemclaurin
I’m named dozens of times in Guidepost’s report. Awful conduct by YOU the @SBCExecComm & your members. YOU did me harm – separate & beyond harm of sexual abuse. Do you intend to make any effort toward making amends for YOUR harms? 2/7

🧵I give thanks for the #SBC21 vote for investigation of @SBCExecComm & audit re #SBC abuse. But I want to also be clear about the limitations of this vote. It carries POTENTIAL but for that potential to eventually be realized there must be bird-dogging & follow-up. 1/
The #SBC21 vote does not serve to expose a single clergy abuser or enabler; nor does it create a database of clergy predators. It doesn't provide communal validation to #SBCtoo survivors by naming their abusers. It doesn't provide any aid or therapy costs to #SBCtoo survivors. 2/

These much-needed steps are wholly left up in the air. Moreover, rather than helping #SBCtoo survivors, the vote is actually asking that survivors help the #SBC. 3/
