As an Anglican deacon, our tradition has a lot of work to do to become a safe space for victims of sexual abuse. The overall silence surrounding sandals of sexual abuse has concerned me ( @ACNAtoo ). I would be a hypocrite to call for accountability with @ihopkc and not @The_ACNA .

“This case includes a relationship between a 42-year-old internationally renowned minister and a 19-year-old, a relationship that began with prophetic manipulation and became a 4-year sexualized relationship that lasted into the early years of IHOPKC.”

IHOPKC not only ignored the GRACE recommendations, but also blatantly defied their recommendations when they brought Brad Tebbutt back on staff and moved him from leading the Simeon Company (ministry to 50 and older) to overseeing recruitment at IHOPU. 5/7

Lord, please raise up an Archbishop in @The_ACNA that values protecting the wounded and abused more than preserving the customs of hierarchical authority. May our tradition become a safe place for laity and clergy to fully advocate for survivors of abuse—until abuse is no more!

@KellyClinger Hey, Kelly, I personally wrote the script for this trailer four years ago. I actually wanted it to be deeply scriptural (e.g., John 16:7, Luke 24:49, Acts 2:38) and avoid the “controversies and excesses” of the charismatic church. As a liturgical Christian, this 40-day journey

In a more safe and just world, Mike would have been permanently disqualified from ministry and IHOPKC would have not (historical implication) and should have not (ethical imperative) been founded.

@Jedidiahhartley Thank you for your courage and moral clarity. This is necessary. It’s time for charismatic Christians to realize that the problem doesn’t lie with those who “test prophecies” (I Thess. 5:21-22), but those who abuse them!
