The Silenced Truth

When survivors of sexual abuse within the Southern Baptist Convention refused to stay silent, they exposed decades of institutional cover-up and sparked a reckoning that once had the promise to reshape one of America's most powerful faith communities. But as people who experience sexual abuse know all too well, they are frequently victimized twice—first in the physical violation, and then a second time when they seek justice by disclosing what happened to them. The Silenced Truth goes beyond the headlines to offer a roadmap for confronting abuse in institutions everywhere.
