“Sadly Day One was for Survivors difficult traumatising and bitter.”

Without the active intervention of the Royal Commission, some “Restorative justice ” principals have been co-opted by institutional power brokers to hide perpetrators and manipulate survivors.

It is of great concern if this is a place that some or many do not see as being safe or as a community that is not caring for survivors of abuse. This is particularly profound when there has been so much harm done within the church.

The good faithful people who honour an “Anglo Catholic” tradition in their spiritual journey have been betrayed by the Leaders who chose a  toxic culture of Clericalism over the needs of the victim/survivors their families and the community.

Do Not Buy This Book.

“Toxic sludge”, the possibly defamatory exegesis of an “obscurantist denialist” who uses obvious proveable “fake” arguments , self-protecting “smoke screens” in an  attempt to undermine national Professional Standards Legislation.  Ms Porter refights old prosecutions in the light of a bias against so-called “New Puritans”. Heavily slanted  “biased” arguments in  defence of K Slater and other Clergy from Defrocking and other sentences from Professional Standards Investigations.

The Anglican Church lost six Bishops to adverse findings and the leadership structure has been exposed as fatally flawed. By 2018 the ACA faces deposition trials in four states and likely criminal charges of those complicit in cover up and misprision of a felony in NSW and Victoria.

I wonder if this article is enough to generate any interest. I wonder if this is close enough to home. I wonder if we all might be brought closer together in the pursuit of true justice. I am not asking for your brief outrage; I am asking for your willingness to continue to learn and make efforts to understand.

This article was written as part of a hearts and minds campaign and was aimed at a group of readers within the Institutions. I hope to rewrite this article using the strongest possible arguments s we try again to Depose Slater and Combden from Holy Orders subject to internal appeals.

It was written during active Royal Commission hearings and now the Royal Commission is Finalised it is time again to prosecute fully Slater and Combden and fight against the denialist minimisers and their growing faction including Muriel Porter and acolytes within National Synod who attempted to water down Statutes in regards deposition trials.

We need to keep an atmosphere of safety in the group understanding each other’s positions and view without value judgements. We have Agnostic Anglican Atheist Buddhist Catholic Humanistic  Jewish Uniting Church, United Methodist,  Zen Buddhist, and other worldviews among our members.

We acknowledge that “ cover up” is tantamount to abuse and that allowing offenders to continue to offend makes those that had the chance to prevent the cycle of offending criminally responsible for the damage done to victims.
