This is what @TheACNA does to whistleblowers: it shames them for speaking, as if they had just Gone Through The Proper Channels, this could have all been sorted.

Also, did Andrew Gross write this shamefully tone deaf response? It has his special touch.

anglican.ink/2025/07/25/sta…Image This calloused, terse, unpastoral statement is in response to the two Provincial prosecutors on the Ruch trial whistleblowing this week, starting with Alan Runan on the 20th. religionnews.com/2025/07/21/pro…

Undisclosed on his resumé, the newly appointed Provincial Prosecutor for @The_ACNA trial of Bp. Ruch, Archdeacon Job Serebrov, attended St. Paul's House of Formation, a Greenhouse Movement institution, for a Certificate in Anglican Studies.

saintpaulshouseofformation.com x.com/monkofjustice/…“Having earned eight graduate degrees, my decision to pursue a certificate in Anglican Studies was carefully considered. I chose St. Paul’s because of its unparalleled breadth of subject matter, its expert and seasoned instruction, a readiness by the staff to address any questions that arise, and that very reasonable fee rate. Perhaps the most enjoyable and longest lasting benefit from this program is the friendship that developed between Fr. Stephen, Fr. Alex, Danny, and me. My prayer is to see St. Paul’s become the premiere certificate option for the ACNA as well as other GAFCON member Ch...
Who is St. Paul's for? Saint Paul’s House of Formation was designed by the Greenhouse Movement to equip Christian leaders while they are actively serving the church. Whether you’re lay or ordained, employed or volunteering, or still discerning where you fit best, all are welcome. We all long for God’s praise of Job to be true of us, that he “has spoken rightly about me.” (Job 42:7) St. Paul’s was intentionally crafted to help you do just that. It contains some of the most in-depth teachings you’ll find, while still remaining accessible and realistic. No matter how you found us, we would l... This is concerning because Greenhouse, like the UMD, plays a major role in the case that the Ven. Serebrov is supposed to prosecute.

This affiliation should have been disclosed for the sake of transparency, even if St. Paul's is not accredited.

The rogue court member pursued this line of questioning OVER THE COURSE OF MORE THAN AN HOUR, according to Runyan.

Why wasn't this shut down immediately? Image Will the Renegade Court member be allowed to continue on the court?

Will he or she be publicly identified?

Will their actions be independently investigated to determine where they accessed their information or what prompted their actions?

Alan Runyan, the lead prosecutor in the @The_ACNA trial of Bishop Stewart Ruch of the Diocese of the Upper Midwest, has resigned.

Archbishop Steve Wood made the announcement over an email today:

mailchi.mp/anglicanchurch… A reason was not given for Runyan's resignation just days into Ruch's trial, but I can't help but wonder if the ridiculous infographic conveniently redefining the understanding of a Bishop recently released by the Province at had anything to do with it.

Very little that @The_ACNA does to block abuse accountability surprises me, but the election of Barbara Gauthier of the Diocese of the Upper Midwest to the Executive Committee after her conduct on Stewart Ruch’s Bishop’s Council is shocking. Image

@NathanBroo33288 @bethkiraly_ @ahailstone @morningstarmin Nathan, please exercise caution about this. ChatGPT does not assess source credibility reliably.

The section on Occult Freemasonry ties alone is based on the Taxil Hoax.

A mixture of true things mixed with insane lies is how these false prophets sucked people into NAR. @NathanBroo33288 @bethkiraly_ @ahailstone @morningstarmin Taxil Hoax myths have been vomited up repeatedly since the 1890's by some of the same organizations listed in this "analysis." Evangelicals, fundamentalists, and charismatics keep returning to that vomit.

I just finished reading the @IHOPKC Firefly investigation report.

In any investigation, it's important to listen to participant feedback before we gauge its strengths & weaknesses.

Do they feel like their stories were faithfully represented? I'm planning on sharing more thoughts during the next few days as I have time to digest & listen to the people who risked so much to share their stories & want to share their feedback.

I'd like to expound on this.

According to the Isler/Dare investigation report (beginning on pg 71), in 2007, a survivor close to TFCA rector John Yates disclosed to him that Jeff Taylor had sexually abused him when he was a member of the youth group.
tfcanglican.org/special-invest… x.com/MBurtwrites/st… After hearing the allegations, Yates met with his ExCom committee & called Taylor, then a youth minister at Christ Church Anglican in Atlanta, & arranged for him to fly up to TFCA.

Yates & the Senior Associate Rector then confronted Taylor, who denied the allegations. The Church also acted appropriately in reaching out fairly quickly to Taylor to confront him with the 2007 disclosure. After meeting with the ExCom, Rev. Yates contacted Taylor and arranged for him to fly up to the area. Rev. Yates and the Senior Associate Rector met with him in person and presented him with the allegations of the 2007 disclosure. Although Taylor refused to acknowledge the truth of the allegations, both Rev. Yates and Staff 8, in their interviews, said they were convinced that Taylor was lying.

I would like to talk about one of the many times @DrMichaelLBrown could have rethought his entire life when an abuser that he coddled & protected from the Angry Mob of Gossips was exposed.

Why wasn't the conscience of this Man of God horrified? As someone who had to develop research skills in order to achieve some level of subject matter expertise to get his PhD in a respectable program, why didn't he use his research skills to seek out experts a long time ago? Why didn't he take expertise seriously?

This sets the appropriate example.

Until mishandling abuse is a career-ending move, the type of careerists who tend to seek & be promoted to powerful & prestigious positions are not going to tread carefully when they learn of abuse allegations. The biggest thing that goes wrong with leaders who are not willful bad actors when they hear abuse allegations is that they tend to see abuse mishandling as something that only Really Bad People do.

This is part 2 of a 🧵 to help people get caught up on the backstory & the latest developments in the @IHOPKC abuse scandal, including the groundbreaking solution of a sister ministry overseeing an independent, crowd-funded investigation by Firefly. Today we're covering the unusual decision for a sister ministry, Takkun, to contract an independent, third party investigation with Firefly into sexual abuse & institutional response at IHOPKC.

We'll also look at the investigation's scope & Firefly's qualifications.

This is a 🧵 to help people get caught up on the backstory & the latest developments in the @IHOPKC abuse scandal, including the innovative solution of a different ministry sponsoring an independent, crowd-funded investigation by relative newcomer Firefly. I hope that these creative solutions to securing an investigation when the primary organization stonewalls will prove successful & will be adopted by other ministry partners when we see ministries follow IHOPKC on the path of evading transparency & accountability in the future.

Announcement by Tikkun Global of an investigation into @IHOPKC sexual abuse & mishandling allegations.

This is an interesting move & potentially very hopeful.

Analysis to follow.

Hoping to hear from @bozlawpa re: his take on the investigation
tikkunglobal.org/a-formal-inves… First of all, I am personally moved by this decision by Tikkun Global & by how @RonSCantor has called leaders in the charismatic movement to hold higher standards for responding to abuse allegations.

This move sets a high bar for accountability within the movement.

In this video, @watchkeep reads from an article disclosing that Stephen Wilson, Prison Ministries Campus Pastor of @GatewayPeople, went to prison for attempted indecency with a child whom he knew through his position as a high school teacher & coach. If you want to read the article yourself, it is titled "The Church Inside: A New Movement in America’s Prisons," was written by @JonathanSprowl, & was published July 31, 2019 in @OutreachMag. ?outreachmagazine.com/features/disci…

@CourtneySt89976 The Vow is probably the most helpful thing that I have watched because there are a lot of parallels to IHOPKC.

Coverage of NXIVM by the media when the story broke was very much of a lurid sex cult with beautiful Hollywood starlets. @CourtneySt89976 Peoples' experiences of sexual abuse while under years of coercive control & brainwashing were being treated as juicy gossip & lurid voyeurism for a titillated public, many members of which were also asking such helpful questions as "How could these people be so dumb?"

Who in the @IHOPKC has #MoravianFever & is willing to spend an hour helping me fact-check a claim? I would need about 12 volunteers, stalwart & true, who are willing to read 10 pages of Rimius' "A Candid Narrative" to help me find the source of a salacious rumor. Those of you who have been sharing the Deception Bytes blog post on Zinzendorf & thinking he was definitely a pedo might recall this other claim: Image

Good morning, @IHOPKC folks who are rethinking your lives. I continue on my autism history dive into the Moravian mythology promoted by IHOPKC as people reckon with Zinzendorf's own problematic erotic mysticism & ask if this was an influence or source for Mike. I continue to think that Mike probably didn't know much at all about Zinzendorf's teachings & will continue to hold this opinion until there is evidence that he was reading & drawing from Zinzendorf's erotic mysticism in the early days of Metro & IHOPKC.

Y'all, the 18th century equivalent of spicy Church Accountability Twitter was lit.

In the 1750's, there was an anti-Moravian pamphlet campaign in England.

This is an excerpt from Rimius' 1755 A Supplement to the Candid Narrative of the Rise and Progress of the Herrnhuters" https://www.google.com/books/edition/A_Supplement_to_the_Candid_Narrative_of/RYoUAAAAQAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=RA1-PA20&printsec=20 We even get a little Ye Olde @WadeMullen Style Image Management Analysis here, & the style is *devastatingly* elegant.

18th @DrMichaelLBrown would most definitely have been scolding people not to write pamphlets & to let him do the thinking here.

.@IHOPKC folks- As you are processing the slapdash "independent" investigation by Rosalee McNamara of Lathrop Group, a powerful law-firm known for its representation of giant corporations & Roman Catholic institutions embroiled in sexual abuse scandals... ...know that the practice of hiring law-firms that conduct opaque investigations on behalf of embattled clients (invariably declared "independent," sometimes with an equally vague & unexplained claim to be "trauma-informed") is common not just in churches...

Hey, @IHOPKC folks- I'm seeing some references to "Stockholm Syndrome" get thrown around. It isn't a real thing & has a problematic, misogynistic history. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame… When we use language like "due process," "Stocholm Syndrome," "cult," "trafficking," etc., we need to always ask: "Does this language bring clarity, or does it obscure?"

Vague, memey, bucket terms like Stockholm Syndrome tend to keep us from asking deeper questions.

Something that there is no easy way to talk about in advocacy work is the way that wicked ministry leaders will often use "Good Survivors" (meaning victims that they still have some level of control over) as human shields or pawns to discredit "Bad Survivors." Bad Survivors are a threat to the ministry's image. Leaders who either directly abused or enabled abuse of survivors unsurprisingly have no problem reabusing them again when they threaten the idolatrous self-images of leaders and communities.
