The REC completely buried the report. They say they did an investigation, but never made said investigation public. They claim to have acted on some of it, but the AKD voted not to receive it. Clearly under pressure from above. Two of the authors are no longer in AKD.

This is the same Ray Sutton that told Willie Hill not take up my defense as I was “just a disgruntled priest with a personality conflict”, something that he now claims not to remember saying, as he was very ill, and has little memory of that time. Willie Hill, his own endorser, confirmed to me three times last year that he said that very thing. The province has proof of those exact words right now and a lot more.

If Bishop Meyer and the REC having a presence in Germany are new to you, here are pictures of him with various ACNA notables.

Potential child porn and failure to report in REC’s German diocese:
The chaplains and I are not a one off. Here’s what I know about this situation: on May 26th of this year I was Bcc’d on an email to Sutton which asked him directly, “…in this phone call it was alleged that Bishop Meyer had knowledge of a priest in the AKD having possession of child pornography. It was further alleged that Bishop Gerhard did not notify authorities, and that you yourself were made aware of this, and did nothing. Is this true? I am aware also that this particular acquaintance made you aware of this, and nothing was done about it. He characterised it as ‘you just need to get over it.’ This call recounted decades of manipulation, and conniving not worthy of a bishop in the Church. I assume you were aware of this well in advance of my being sent to Germany?” Sutton’s reply is below. The day after this denial and explanation I saw the 65 page report and a screenshot showing it had been sent to him by the bishop accused five years ago on October 20th, 2021. Sutton has not denied the claims of pedophilia by a deceased priest, but confirmed them. Bishop Meyer remains in power and just claimed a second retirement, knowing he is under investigation. The provincial office and chancellors say that this situation is not somehow under ACNA canons, so it’s not our business to sort out. 🤷🏼‍♂️ fatherleenelson.substack.com…

Abuse is never abuse from the perspective of the abuser.

Yes
I just heard that Deborah Tepley sent an NDA with a gag order as a precondition for participating in the Ruch trial. This same order said that this person could never speak about the background again without the permission of the Trial Court. He did not sign it. This is one complaint among so many, including ours. I call on Julian Dobbs to fire Deborah Tepley and Bill Nelson for cause. Enough.

I've often wondered why some pastors are so determined to extend grace to child sex offenders — especially when it puts children in their congregation at risk. In the case of South Carolina minister Tracy Black, one possible answer is becoming clearer. Black defended his decision to allow a registered sex offender to attend outdoor church services and dismissed concerns about child safety. Now Black is facing charges for alleged child sex abuse and possession of child sex abuse material. Could it be his empathy for child sex abusers was actually empathy for himself? roysreport.com/south-carolin…

Remember when Garland’s Civil War came out and people mocked it for having Texas and California on the same side of the war?

Oops.
I also heard from a bishop today that he has emails in his possession written to Foley Beach, warning him of the situation of chaplains going back to 2014, seven years prior to the first complaint.

ACNA par for the course.
Allegedly Lathrop said “they have never worked with an organization that has so many people refusing to cooperate.” Telling.

With serenity, nonchalance and indifference we are marching toward a cataclysmic world war.

Walt Whitman foreshadowing Trump: “It seems to me a certainty of time, sooner or later, that Canada shall form two or three grand States, equal and independent, with the rest of the American Union. The St. Lawrence and lakes are not for a frontier line, but a grand interior or mid-channel.”

Sad.
I heard today that Beach and Sutton didn’t even acknowledge at the recent CoB meeting that they had made mistakes, or that they knew about the situation of chaplains, if true that is not going to look too good, as the province already has evidence which amounts to their confessions.

How much are Baby Boomers propping up American Christianity? I built a simulation: no converts, no children becoming adults. Just each denomination’s 2024 adults, assuming everyone lives to 85. Here’s how many remain through 2050.
