We’re here to protect innocent kids and vulnerable adults. We’re not here to punish or persecute anyone. This is about public safety and victims’ healing. When those happen, then it may be time for forgiveness or redemption,which are, in fact, private actions, not public actions. Public actions are what will keep others safe and help others heal.
We start with a simple truth: Sexual violence happens when those who commit or conceal it escape consequences.
We fear that’s what’s happening now, in part, because of the Missouri Baptist Convention.
The Convention has tapped Dr. Mike Roy to be on the board of trustees at Southwest Baptist University.
–This all stems from the case of Shawn Davies, who pled guilty in 2007 to molesting boys at First Baptist Church of Greenwood. Roy was the senior pastor there. Davies was youth and music minister. https://www.snapnetwork.org/news/baptist/baptist_minister_convicted.htm
