Welcome!

This site is where you can find links to a lot of my published essays and articles on Baptist clergy sex abuse, church cover-ups, and denominational do-nothingness in Baptistland. If you’re here, that’s probably what you’re interested in, and I hope you may find something helpful. Check out my Substack newsletter, In Solidarity, as well.

COMING SOON!  Baptistland: A Memoir of Abuse, Betrayal, and Transformation

Arriving May 7, 2024 from Lake Drive Books

Mostly, I write about abuse and cover-ups in the largest non-Catholic faith group in the U.S., the Southern Baptist Convention. But I’ve also written about abuse among other evangelical groups, and about other ways in which religion can get twisted into a force for oppression and hate. My prior book, a combination memoir and exposé, is This Little Light: Beyond a Baptist Preacher Predator and His Gang.  I’m proud that it’s been used in law school classes on child abuse & the law. I hope some part of it may have some small influence on people younger than me to eventually bring about change.

My thanks to every reader who has shared some part of my journey.
