Part IV [final] breakdown of @MidwestAnglican's investigation FAQ. 4 questions to go!
Q#14 I think they meant to say "certain clergy members' [plural] pastoral practice." Grammar renders it unclear.
How many leaders were investigated?
Regarding @TeliosLaw, here is a sample final letter. It says essentially nothing.
Other letters completely missed major details of allegations against Bp. Ruch & other leaders. When interviewed, Ruch dismissed many allegations as "theological differences." Survivors cry foul.
Note: Ms. Sidebotham, lead attorney at @TeliosLaw , has a family member who was a member at @ChurchRez for over a decade.
During the investigation, this person emailed a Rez clergy spouse, and said spouse forwarded on to many congregant families.
Conflict of interest much?
And don't even get me started on @TeliosLaw's credibility rating. During my interview, I was read a list of 20-30 names and asked to rate their credibility on a scale of 1-5.
@MidwestAnglican is not that large. I was almost certain from that list who submitted reports. Unsafe.
And at least one @MidwestAnglican clergy refused to participate in the @TeliosLaw investigation... and...
... there does not seem to be any consequence of his refusal.
Fr. Hartsell moved to southern California last summer and is currently Priest-in-Charge of a church in @The_ACNA @westernanglican.
Is Fr. Hartsell still under @MidwestAnglican's authority?
I called @The_ACNA Provincial Office to ask. Guess what? They don't know!
Could they find out for me?
"We don't reach out to Dioceses to request information."
Q#15: FALSE statement. (evidence listed next)
From @MidwestAnglican and @ChurchRez Pastor Will Chester.
Recent @MidwestAnglican Bishop's Council email, expressing their sorrow and support for Bp. Ruch.
To read further observations, see thread here:
Q#16: The real question that should be asked is...
Why is Bp. Stewart not STILL on a leave of absence, given that @The_ACNA has ruled that an ecclesiastical trial is warranted?
Q#17: Amen. Let us all ask God for truth and justice, and for healing for those harmed.
If you are in the @MidwestAnglican Diocese, do NOT bring your questions or concerns to your clergy or leaders. They have demonstrated that they will not be honest nor transparent.
