I will find "a path forward" when the #UUA admits that it has been mishandling, minimizing, covering-up & denying all forms of #ClergyMisconduct, both #SexualMisconduct & non-sexual misconduct, properly & publicly apologizes, & provides genuine #RestorativeJusticeForALL victims of #UU #ClergyAbuse.
It's not just "a particular case".
The #UUA has been minimizing, covering-up, & even denying #ClergySexAbuse that includes #ChildSexAbuse for decades.
The UUA obstinately refuses to acknowledge #TheTruth, publicly apologize, & provide long overdue #RestorativeJusticeForALL #ClergyAbuse victims.
No.
The #UUA has to properly & publicly apologize for what the UUA did & provide long ago promised, but never actually provided. . . #RestorativeJusticeForALL #ClergyMisconduct victims.
Every UUA congregation that did not properly redress #ClergyMisconduct should apologize & provide #justice too.
Sadly, Rev. Ashley Horan & other top-level UUA leaders aren't brave enough to admit to decades worth of #UUA mishandling, minimization, cover-up & denial of #ClergyMisconduct aka #ClergyAbuse & provide long ago promised #RestorativeJusticeForALL.

I see parallels between the #TrumpEpstein saga & the #UnitarianUniversalist #ChildSexAbuse coverup & denial saga:
The UUA's broken promises of #RestorativeJusticeForALL.
The backlash against those who expose #TheTruth.
The chasm between empty #UUrhetoric & #UUreality, & the #CultureOfSecrecy.
Peace won't prevail in the #UnitarianUniversalist "church" before #justice prevails, including #RestorativeJusticeForALL victims of ALL forms of #ClergyMisconduct.
Sadly, the #UUA obstructs justice & perverts justice & most U*Us are only too happy to be complicit in #ClergyAbuse cover-up & denial.
Speaking of "restorative justice", what happened to that #RestorativeJusticeForALL victims of #UnitarianUniversalist #ClergyMisconduct that the #UUA promised decades ago?
Rev. Deborah Pope-Lance told me years ago that she's not aware of one single victim who ever received any #RestorativeJustice.
You're welcome.
The UUA has been trying to conceal #ClergySexAbuse that includes child rape for decades. When it can no longer hide #ClergySexualMiscinduct it minimizes it. I'm still waiting for the #UUA to properly apologize & provide #RestorativeJusticeForALL victims of #ClergyMisconduct.

Will #UUA President Rev. Sofía Betancourt &or #UUABoard find the #humility required to properly apologize for not only #UU #ClergyMisconduct, but the UUA's mishandling of complaints, FAILure to provide promised #RestorativeJusticeForALL, & #CoverUp & #Denial of #CSA?

The majority of victims of #UUA #ClergyMisconduct, #SexualMisconduct or otherwise, never received any of the long ago promised #RestorativeJusticeForALL.
Most were silenced with #NDAs etc.
The UUA must properly apologize, and adequately redress past injustices and abuses.
There's much work to do.
