If you didnt know by now, Ive been posting a lot lately about how Nadia Bolz-Weber and Rachel Held Evans are putting on an all-women conference with JoPa. JoPa is run by Tony Jones and Doug Pagitt, and Tony has recently come under accusations of committing domestic violence, and Doug Pagitt and others in Emergent Village have been accused of covering up the information and making the accuser out to be mentally unstable. (There is a lot of documentation of the allegations and the rebuttals of them if you scroll further down my wall.) I am not saying whether any of these allegations are true, but the fact that the allegations are being swept aside and a purpotedly feminist conference is being held under the JoPa umbrella as if the allegations are not serious at all is exactly why abuse like this in the church is allowed to go on. Under the supposition that the leaders of the conference dont understand just how widespread abuse in the church is, and how often its covered up, I would like for survivors of abuse who were not believed to share their stories here. If youd rather remain anonymous please PM me and Ill post it for you.
