Indescribably grateful to God for the courageous SBC men & women—including those on the #sbcexeccomm & most certainly vocal survivors—who fought so hard to do the will of SBC messengers in prioritizing the best case scenario for survivors & victims of church sexual abuse to heal.
They have longed to hear you. They have thought many times they were about to hear of you. But they absolutely DID hear you yesterday. As I’ve said before, I’m not 1 of them. My home was my unsafe place. But I well know the lifelong repercussions of sexual abuse, especially by
perpetrators who should’ve been protectors. Believe me when I say that what you fought hard for & will continue to fight to see implemented is not wasted on any of us survivors. We know who stood up when we were laid out. We know who spoke up when we were shut up. We know who
reminded us when we felt buried in shame that the shame was not ours. That we were valuable and precious to God and to the church and not defiled and shunned. You need not worry if we will ever forget your names or your numbers. 44+ + 15000+. God bless you. My hat’s off to you.
