God hears the @MidwestAnglican bishop's secret complaint about "rumors, reports, or allegations" affecting his character. @The_ACNA Province falls silent, their only public report now kept hidden. The little girl is forgotten. There is a new abuse story. The victim: the bishop.
“Here’s the bottom line: very important information is being withheld from you by the Court, the Archbishop, and the Archbishop’s staff.” Rachel Thebeau, Esq., Asst. Counsel to the Prov. Prosecutor, describes what she witnessed in the trial of Bp. Ruch: acnatoo.org/acnatoo-news/t…
No, actually, I'm not quite done on this. Folks like @PostCnsumrChris can be hounded out of @The_ACNA for letting survivors tell their stories on a podcast he clearly stated was not affiliated with the denom/diocese...
In effect, "This is all supposed to be secret, darnit." Saying the quiet parts out loud... Despite calls from across @The_ACNA for YEARS, its leaders demand secrecy and will even scold those who request transparency.
Curious what @The_ACNA's stance is on Executive Committee members publicly saying a former Provincial Prosecutor should be beaten behind a woodshed.
From @The_ACNA Exec. Committee member & wife of @MidwestAnglican Canon Theologian Stephen Gauthier: "Bp. Bryan addresses each one of Runyan's allegations, one by one, and then proceeds to deftly address a good number of 'proprieties' committed by Runyan..." What is the truth?

It's disheartening to observe that @The_ACNA can, in fact, sink to a new low. Exec Comm member attacks former prosecutor; husband is friends w/ new prosecutor, whose task is to prove clergy under husband were not properly trained/vetted under Bp. Stewart Ruch's oversight.

I am not sure how much louder we can yell, “Help!” @The_ACNA clergy and laity, please do not turn away. This has gone on for FOUR YEARS. If you are tired, how much more so the survivors & advocates?
On 7/20/25, Abp. Wood announced that Adn. Job Serebrov has been appointed as the new Provincial Prosecutor. However, concerns have been raised re Serebrov’s undisclosed ties to the Greenhouse Movement & leadership in the Diocese of the Upper Midwest. 1/7 bit.ly/45akNYu
New for @Livng_Church: The trial of @The_ACNA Bp. Stewart Ruch has been halted by the sudden resignation of its prosecutor after a member of the Court for the Trial of a Bishop allegedly improperly questioned a prosecution's witness for over an hour. livingchurch.org/news/news-angl…
In light of the news from the past 24 hr., the call below from @inRticul8 is absolutely warranted. Please consider. acnatoo.org/acnatoo-news/r…
I think this is a great opportunity for parish vestries to opt out of sending tithes to dioceses and the province. If we are not of their flock Bishops should seek financial support from their actual flocks.
Did Ruch’s defense attorney write this??
"A Bishop is an overseer of the flock." -Title III Canon 8 Section 1, @The_ACNA Constitution & Canons ACNA: "Except in some cases." This document has never been shown publicly before. Released during @MidwestAnglican Bp. Ruch's trial, in which he is accused of poor leadership.
What is the point of an episcopal structure if the bishops are not responsible to safeguard the flock? I get that a bishop is not going to pastor everybody or subscribe to the parish activities calendar. But he💯should be aware of & enforcing safeguarding/reporting. 2/2
