Vigilantism doesn’t care about the truth, the wreckage, or character assassination, only vigilance against the "enemy."

Until we finalize our Spiritual Abuse Guidelines, if you have experienced spiritual abuse within the ACNA & wish to reach out with your story, you can utilize the same guidelines re disclosure and identifying information & we will work individually with you to refine your story.

The problem with these so-called movements is that a) they operate through their self-professed competence rather than actual knowledge b) they often do so remotely and c) they do so without any standing. ^

Their lack of standing is turned into their raison d’etre: saying those with standing are irresponsible or have abdicated to protect their own power. ^

Mark my words, a lot of ACNA clergy are going to find themselves "defendants" on twitter-court. ^

I honestly don’t know a single priest or pastor who hasn’t been accused of some kind of spiritual abuse because they have boundaries with toxic people. Antagonism is rampant in the Church. Is there abuse, too? Sure, but not as much. ^

These bad actors need to be honest, they’re utilizing a extra-canonical, extra-ecclesial bludgeon to best their theological opponents in a game of performative "justice" and virtue-signaling. The @The_ACNA Bishops need to act. ^

Judge, jury, and executioner rolled into one completely unaccountable self-appointed mob. Most of them from a single rogue diocese. ^

Also, it seems obvious to me that ACNA clergy are hiding behind hashtags and "advisory teams." Why? So they can’t be implicated. ^
