Sheology

(Content warning - this episode contains references to abuse, including sexual abuse.) In November 2017, motivated by the growing #MeToo movement, poet and yoga teacher Emily Joy revealed on Twitter that as a teenager she was groomed for abuse by an older youth leader. So began #ChurchToo, an outpouring from Christians around the world who had been sexually harassed or abused by other churchgoers - often their partners - or even church leaders, yet in many cases found little to no support from their faith communities. In our first international interview, we chat to producer and host Kelly Browning and assistant producer Sarah Jordan from the All At Once podcast about how Christian culture can enable abuse, particularly violence against women, and how they and many others are fighting for change.
