Meet William Barcley, pastor of Sovereign Grace PCA, adjunct prof at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary & RTS Charlotte, friend of Heath Lambert & Trish DeYoung. Why should u know about him? Bc he wrote this atrocity to his PCA congregation about Josh Dornan. Image
Image
Image
In 2018, Dornan admitted to a kidnapping attempt. "the woman was able to fight her attacker off .. Joshua Dornan was arrested and charged with kidnapping ... Dornan admitted to driving by the victim .. checking her out & having impure sexual thoughts"

wsoctv.com/news/local/cmp…
In 2023, Dornan was arrested again, this time bc of allegations of sexual assault against 2 minors 10 yrs prior. This case was dismissed, which is what prompted the Rev Dr Barcley's fawning email, urging congregants to "encourage" & "rejoice" with poor, suffering Josh Image

This is @PCAByFaith, where a man who admits to kidnapping & gets off on another highly credible charge is the REAL victim. Image
Turns out Josh went on a podcast to talk about his 2018 kidnapping arrest, noting his "sin" of being attracted to Black women and oh dear God this keeps getting worse.

open.spotify.com/episode/72BCmI…
Josh frames the attempted kidnapping as offering his neighbour - a Black woman he here admits whistling at - a lift: "being the Christian who is known by the world by how I love my neighbour, I would do anything for my neighbours"

Also: he's armed.

Hitting kids is a lazy shortcut. It punches down (literally!) duty of care onto the very ones needing that care & patient guidance! The entire community is often complicit, not just parents/carers, since that community is often the ones judging carers when kids are ... being kids
So many times, SO MANY TIMES, my husband and I have had Christian friends criticise us in various ways for NOT hitting our kids, for NOT setting & enforcing expectations entirely unreasonable for our kids' stage/rate of development.
When my eldest was still WEEKS OLD, a Christian childhood friend TOLD ME OFF for smiling & encouraging him when putting him into his carseat. As a child, my son found it difficult to be strapped in anywhere, yet she said my care was "coddling". Babies should "do as they're told."

Public Announcement of a Civil Lawsuit Filed against the OPC
Wednesday, February 14, 2024

The Orthodox Presbyterian Church has just been named in a civil lawsuit ..
... against certain individuals and churches who have been accused of enabling and covering up a situation in the mid-1980s involving the sexual abuse of a child. An investigation is underway.
God’s heart is for the vulnerable in our midst. We are deeply concerned about and take seriously any accusation of abusive behavior in our churches and any accusation of a failure to deal openly and thoroughly with that abuse.

The 7-Mountains-Mandate is a significant movement within Christian Dominionism.
A pivotal date is in 1975, when Bill Bright (Campus Crusade), Loren Cunningham (YWAM) & Francis Schaeffer (L'Abri) claimed to have received an identical mandate directly & personally from God.
Allen Clifton writes,
Politicians/Religious Leaders that openly speak about receiving messages from God, basing campaigns on injecting religious beliefs into their policy making &:

Mountain 1: believe that this nation was founded on Christian principles (Government).
Mountain 2: Social policies which are crafted based on religious ideology that define what constitutes a marriage and when life is created (Family).

Breaking: the state of Illimois has ruled in FAVOUR of Emily Hyland's claim that PCA pastor Dane Ortlund discriminated against her on the basis of her sex.
https://t.co/HhvMhaKINMhrc.illinois.gov/content/dam/so…
"Respondent made a finding of substantial evidence regarding Petitioner’s allegation of retaliatory discharge. The retaliation was in response to Petitioner filing a sex discrimination complaint with Employer. Prior to the meeting in which Petitioner was discharged,
Ortlund ...
had kept a running list of all the ways in which he disapproved of Petitioner’s behavior (which
he did not share with Petitioner at any point prior to her discharge) but did not keep any such list for his
male employees. And he had begun keeping track of the list explicitly..

When it comes to a church's safeguarding policy, there is the formal, public documentation,
& there is the informal, often private, *highly impactful* discussion of safeguarding priorities & practice among church leaders.
These can be extremely contradictory.
Here's an example:
Public Documentation re: Safeguarding, the Scottish Free Church Continuing:

"The Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) recognises its responsibility before Almighty God to promote the wellbeing of all people"

https://t.co/quvCFJjaeAfreechurchcontinuing.org/wp-content/upl…
1. The Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) recognises its responsibility before Almighty God to promote the wellbeing of all people, and particularly those that come into contact with, and participate in, the Church’s various activities. The Church is committed to taking all practicable steps to promote and safeguard the wellbeing of each individual child or vulnerable adult or other, regardless of any distinctions.
Discussion among church leaders re: safeguarding, Scottish Free Church Continuing:

"The committee are mindful of the times in which the church finds herself. With increasing frequency state legislation is encroaching upon the spiritual independence and liberty of the church ...
