“When I tell my story, some Christians will say, ‘That wasn't really Christian. Your church wasn't really Christian.’ It's easier to call my story an anomaly than to face the reality that Christians have caused both great good and great harm. But that only perpetuates the problem, and the harm. Instead I wish they would say, ‘That was wrong.’ I wish they could acknowledge how they are tied to a broader group of people, that they would seek accountability and justice instead of washing their hands clean of the so-called bad apples.”

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
