1/ I am fascinated (and disturbed) by @ChurchSociety's recent 45-page public response to a complex case involving Michael & Kate Andreyev & various leaders embedded in #FletcherCulture

@ChurchSociety 2/ I'm immediately struck by the emphasis on "full" in the introductory blog post (linked above).
"full report"
"full account"
"full account"
"full report"
To what extent is it "full"?
What does being "full" actually mean?

3/ In the report, I learn that "full" means 1 man's "understanding, based on testimony of those concerned, emails, documents, & online material"
So "full" is already signif narrowed, not least by the author's bias but also by focus on a subset of people, "those concerned"

1/ I appreciate I have many friends on here wondering why us survivors are not happy with some of the things well known UK leaders have said in response to the Fletcher & Smyth abuse. What has sounded as appropriate to you, has been hurtful to us... #FletcherCulture
2/ I'd ask you to pls do the work of researching and understanding abuse better. Remember the time when you needed to understand exegesis & Biblical theology better - similarly you may now need to understand abuse & its dynamics better...
3/ Listen to survivors' voices. It's disingenuous to say you care about the survivors - but then ignore what they are saying. It's unkind to pontificate on what needs to happen, if you're not listening to what the survivors who have had an inside view for years, have to say.
