ACNAtoo

We’re publishing this guest thread from the mother of the 9yo victim of sexual assaults by Mark Rivera. We’ll be using her initials to protect her & her daughter’s identity. She wants to correct the record about public statements put out by @ChurchRez & @MidwestAnglican. #ACNAtoo

On 3/23/26, @The_ACNA announced that it has retained @LathropGPM to conduct an independent procedural review of the Title IV disciplinary process of Bishop Stewart Ruch. acnatoo.org/acnatoo-news/a…

Rev. Dan Alger resumes preaching and is introduced by Rev. Benji Davis, head of DCOH’s College of Presbyters, as “a fellow priest in the Diocese of Christ our Hope." acnatoo.org/acnatoo-news/d…

New for @Livng_Church: Acting ACNA primate Dobbs sues former chaplaincy bishop Derek Jones for defamation, accusing him of making repeated false statements about Dobbs' handling of two financial matters. livingchurch.org/news/acna-acti…

ACNAtoo, a group of abuse survivor advocates, said the court order “confirms survivors’ fears that the ACNA will give bishops a free pass.” religionnews.com/2026/01/16/aft…

Sorrow is feigned, confession is partial, forgiveness is exploited, restitution is an afterthought, and reconciliation is an illusion, as long as truth remains unnamed.

@AnglicanWatch You do not have permission to reprint in full, however you are welcome to quote from it with attribution and link to the statement.

Recently, a number of people have asked if we plan to offer feedback to the Province regarding the proposed Title IV revisions. These are the reasons we have declined to participate: acnatoo.org/acnatoo-news/a…

Last month the verdict for Bishop Stewart Ruch's ecclesial trial in @The_ACNA was announced: acquitted on all charges. Those following might be curious, "What does @ACNAtoo have to say about that?" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/epi…

UPDATE: On Jan 9 (& just posted), the ACNA's Court for the Trial of a Bishop issued this explanatory Order of Correction regarding its after-the-fact modification of its decision in the trial of Bp Ruch, which had stricken a mention of the presenting bishops' refusal to testify.

Another round of the worst @The_ACNA question game: is it episcopal incompetency, bishops behaving badly, or some combo of the two? Seems like leaders being “above reproach” should be more important in a denomination that claims to value biblical authority 🧵

A great way for @The_ACNA College of Bishops to rebuild trust would be to release the report and supporting documents clearing Bp. Dobbs of wrongdoing.

"New canons may tidy the wreckage, but they cannot generate what was never cultivated (moral authority, local gravity, the courage to risk the institution for the truth). Without these, governance becomes theater, reform cosmetic, and victims collateral." substack.com/profile/413537…

"Episcopal authority is not a credential one holds behind the scenes; it is a public reality that either gathers trust or corrodes it. When leadership itself becomes a point of dispute, the office is already impaired." @voicefromflorence/note/c-193556869?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=208it0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@voicefromflor…

UPDATE: Last night, following publication of this article for which they were initially not reached for comment, the ARCC took down its published pages claiming affiliation with the Union of Scranton, and reached out to state that discussions had been only preliminary. 🧵

The ACNA is roughly 20 times more represented in the military chaplaincy per capita than the SBC....granting its bishops access and influence in federal spaces that far outstrips their actual footprint in American religious life. baptistnews.com/article/how-a-…
