Joanna Harader, an MC USA pastor, wrote this letter to all pastors who are wrestling with the challenge of helping their congregations confront the allegations of abuse within a beloved institution. Harader writes, “I do not think I am alone in serving a congregation in which some people want to completely cut off all ties to MCC while others want to ignore survivor stories and carry on as usual. Many of us who lead congregations are wondering how to most faithfully navigate these conversations.” She continues with some specific suggestions from her own experience. Check it out!
