“In the episode on prediction of the future Church, I’m curious as to why spiritual abuse and the sexual abuse cover-up was never mentioned as an issue in waning church attendance. Broken trust between leadership and congregants weakens a congregants loyalty, knowing that when they need help the most they’ll be betrayed and abandoned, or attacked as a threat. When church leaders care more about protecting themselves and their system than they do about protecting those in their care, it gives people nowhere else to go. When the church becomes a country club, it loses its appeal for those who have suffered trauma.”
