“It is easier to blame the person who is leaving the environment than it is to self-reflect,” she said.”
Sarah McCammon, The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church

“Ask THEM the question—the people, the human beings who were treated as litter by evangelical leaders and institutions on a crusade for religious, social, and political power, a quest that wrecked their souls and their sanity. Spend three days with those wounded, joyful thrivers, those who were kicked out, fled, crawled out, or backed slowly out the rear door.

“It’s a slightly different form—and probably a healthier form, I can acknowledge that—of ‘just go talk to the pastor,’” Peck said. “If that’s helpful and useful and is consistent with what the person needs, that can be a really amazing resource. But when that’s a way of not addressing health concerns, or not getting the depression treatment that you need, it can be counterproductive.”
Sarah McCammon, The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church
