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!
