Hey, @ACNAtoo#ACNAtoo allies looking how to help. We are trying to get the website up as fast as possible I need someone to help me with the Recommended Resource page so people who want to learn how to do better can get what they need & avoid the unhelpful stuff. Who can help?
I have a list of materials but need someone to type it out, add hyperlinks to the titles, and send it to @Weejenbug so she can add it to the site. DM me if you can do it today.
@Wevans0987 , #ACNAtoo MVP for helping Heather finish her web content when all she has left in her are Arrested Development tweets so @ladyjessicahaze & CM can have a good laugh today.
@Weejenbug , #ACNAtoo MVP for taking website building off my plate & getting FB groups started
All done!

@writer_dee Salty the Tweeting Burn Book only comes out to burn leaders like @StewartRuch who have been given opportunities to learn and do the right thing & refuse.
The Stew Crew was given endless opportunities by people who loved them & were willing to move past previous horrible mistakes
@writer_dee@StewartRuch If ever any clueless, well-intentioned knuckleheaded had a chance to come out of this looking like a hero, it was @StewartRuch.
Instead, his sentimentality about his sincerity & his obstinate refusal to listen & repent have led to his exposure.
@writer_dee@StewartRuch The plan is to avoid having to get Salty, because I actually don't like being salty.
We want @The_ACNA to listen to people who know what they are talking about- survivors, experts on trauma-informed & survivor-sensitive care, pastors/deacons who are awesome at pastoral care...
The only thing more infuriating and disgusting than believing a child lied about sexual abuse is when the wife of a Bishop goes around telling everyone one who asks that the 9 yr old victim of @MidwestAnglican 's favorite lay leader/accused rapist of children & adults is lying.
The mother of the 9 year old survivor of Mark Rivera's sexual abuse shared how they were treated by COLA & @ChurchRez leaders & members after they reported abuse & sought help from their church family. Her statement is at @ACNAtoo.
The treatment that the child & her family recieved from their church "family" was shaped in no small part by the efforts of the wife @StewartRuch, to use her power & trust as "Mama Katherine" to slander a 9 year old child survivor or sexual assault.
This is the empty sentimentality of evangelical Sincerity Culture.
Instead of becoming people that CAN help, immature leaders impose on those seeking help by asking the people under their "care" to receive professions of sincerity as effective assistance. @ACNAToo@StewartRuch
What is clear from the statement of one of the victim's Mother's on @ACNAtoo is that @StewartRuch & many of the leaders of COLA & @ChurchRez believed Mark Rivera & did not believe @ladyjessicahaze & the children who reported Rivera's abuse to their church leaders.
Are there any @The_ACNA children's ministers, volunteers, or clergy who have some experience w/abuse prevention training & would be willing to step it up and lead an FB group of ACNA people interested in collaborating on improved abuse prevention & response policies? #ACNAtoo
Y'all, I've been working on transcribing the email screenshots from @ladyjessicahaze 's July 3rd 🧵 for ACNAtoo.org 's launch & I'm more tired than @StewartRuch 's performative lament at failing the survivors of abuse in @MidwestAnglican.
Anyone want to help me out?
I just got to this tweet & need to transcribe the screenshots for it and all the Tweets w/ text screenshots after it.
If you want to help, 1. transcribe. 2. DM me the transcription with the relevant tweet 3. retweet the tweet you transcribed in the comments of this thread and let others know it's done so we don't duplicate labor.
@scotmcknight@BpToddHunter@The_ACNA@C4SO Probably not. I haven't looked at details of any policies, but this is literally the ONLY diocese in ACNA that expresses ANY sort of concern for whistleblower protection on their website.
@scotmcknight@BpToddHunter@The_ACNA@C4SO I am guessing that as I look through the documents, I will not find ANY diocese that has policies on how to conduct investigations in ways that are victim-centered & trauma informed. This hasn't been thought through.
@scotmcknight@BpToddHunter@The_ACNA@C4SO As a lay person, it's not clear to me how diocesan policies on abuse prevention & response are developed. Presumably, @The_ACNA has some minimum standards a diocese must meet, yes?
