We knew Catholics aren’t the only ones with abuse problems, but here’s a blog about Southern Baptists:
For faith groups that proactively try to address clergy sex abuse, prevention and compassion go hand in hand.
After all, how will people find out about clergy child molesters if victims are turned away and intimidated when they try to report their abuse?
For Southern Baptists, their leaders are still way behind the curve compared to the leaders of other faith groups.
Southern Baptists don’t even provide a safe place to which victims may report abuse. So most victims don’t try.
It’s worse among them, according to Christa Brown, “the national outreach director for SNAP-Baptist and maintains the StopBaptistPredators.org website. She is a wife, mother, attorney, jazz-lover, slow-runner, and a Southern Baptist abuse survivor”:
Why should anyone believe that Southern Baptist leaders will be able to prevent abuse by clergy child molesters they don’t yet know about when, day in and day out, they do nothing about the clergy child molesters they’re specifically told about?
In addition, Stop Baptist Predators dot org is “the voice of SNAP Baptist.”
