What Next: Abuse in the Southern Baptist Convention

The Department of Justice announced this month that they were
investigating allegations that leaders of the Southern Baptist
Convention mishandled sexual abuse accusations for decades. How
have abusers exploited the church’s decentralized structure and
notions of forgiveness to avoid accountability, and how have church
teachings about sexuality and “purity culture” allowed the abuse to
continue? Guest: Robert Downen, reporter at the Houston
Chronicle.  Jules Woodson, co-Founder & COO of
Help;Hear;Heal, a nonprofit providing therapy funding for survivors
of sexual abuse. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up
