What happens when you speak up about abuse in a church… a 🧵:

When the spiritual & emotional abuse happened to me at an ACNA church, I didn’t share anything about it for a long time. Who would believe me? /1 When I finally did share (because what had happened had torn me apart and it was impossible to continue to pretend nothing had happened), the responses and reactions made things so much worse. /2

I write this as a survivor of spiritual and emotional abuse in an ACNA church. (My story did not take place at Church of the Resurrection in Wheaton). /1 As I have been processing my story and preparing to report it, I have communicated with Cherin Marie and @ladyjessicahaze of @ACNAtoo. Both have been incredibly loving, kind, and careful. They have committed time and effort to reading my story and responding to it. /2
