Special Edition – Spiritual Abuse – TNE, Tony Jones, and the Theo Bros
Join us for this special conversation with Megan South Benninger and Ruthie Hird. Last week, when the question of whether Tony Jones should be platformed at the Theology Beer Camp (the Theo Bros), people responded.
Megan and others started a conversation in The New Evangelicals community group, and the survivors were upset. Eventually, Tim Whitaker responded with a video saying his conscience was clear (his podcast featured at Beer Camp). His board later chastised him for releasing the video. Maybe, they realized it was traumatic to many, but they stayed with the plan to support the festival and their leader.
Many of us believe this was a point in history when TNE, Tim Whitaker, Tripp Fuller, and the other speakers had a chance to draw a line in the sand and move this issue forward dramatically, and they totally dropped the ball. Several people I formerly respected made the wrong decision or said nothing.
But, once again, victims were silenced and the Theo Bros (the Patriarchy) gleefully continued down their own self-made trail of self-appeasement.
