A core part of effective activism is individual witness – standing up to those who one sees and works with every day.

This sermon captures the story of one minister’s behind-the-scenes efforts to cleanse her church’s leadership of sexism and sexual predators and the conflicts that emerged. It reveals how even the most liberal institutions are still not immune to #metoo problems. Efforts at fostering a healthy diversity within the church did not permeate the leadership. And amazingly, as of Februrary 2018, Susan was not just removed from the puplit, she was defrocked by her ordaining denomination. One person’s pursuit of the truth is another’s professional misconduct.

We are on a journey. Are we caring for each other along the way with respect and mindfulness? Or just trying to put up a facade to hide our own struggles from public scrutiny?
