Amy Falkenrath And Unitarian Universalist Women Who Aid And Abet Unitarian Universalist Clergy Abuse Cover-Up Efforts - What's The Connection?
How about these rather foolish comments that Oregon Unitarian Universalist Amy Falkenrath posted in response to this U*UTube video of my Mothers Day 2018 protest against the fact that rather too many Unitarian Universalist mothers are complicit in Unitarian Universalist child abuse cover-up and denial, if they aren't knowing and willful participants in the cover-up and-or attempts to discredit complainants and whistleblowers?
Robin Edgar I did some googling and found that you were removed from your former UU congregation for behaving erratically. I suppose I can understand being bitter about that but its been almost 20 years. I think you need a hobby. There is sexual misconduct everywhere, across all churches, schools, sports, etc. If you were still a member of a UU church you would notice that there have been ministers publicly called out as being removed for ministerial misconduct in the back pages of UUA World. I have doubts that you have done anything even remotely productive to address the problem other than protesting and making a spectacle of yourself outside of your old congregation because you cannot let go of your bitterness about having the entire congregation vote to rescind your membership.
Amy Falkenrath I did some Googling too Amy, and quickly discovered that you are a Unitarian Universalist yourself. In fact I discovered that you are "a member and past president of The Unitarian Universalists of Central Oregon". I'm not sure if you are a Unitarian Universalist mother per se, but you are definitely a female Unitarian Universalist aka a Unitarian Universalist woman. So I find it most ironic that your comments on this U*UTube video only serve to prove my point about Unitarian Universalist women being complicit in, or even knowing and willful participants in. . . Unitarian Universalist cover-up and denial of Unitarian Universalist clergy abuse, which includes a certain amount of abuse of children committed by UUA clergy, not to mention UUA Sunday school teachers aka RE teachers.
I am perfectly aware that a small number of Unitarian Universalist ministers have been "publicly called out as being removed for ministerial misconduct in the back pages of UUA World", or otherwise publicly acknowledged by the UUA, but the fact of the matter is that these particular UUA ministers, whose clergy abuse the UUA was unable to conceal from the public, are but a small fraction of the number of UUA ministers who are guilty of clergy sexual misconduct of one kind or another. As I understand it, only 20 something UUA ministers have ever been "defellowshipped" by the UUA's very aptly named Ministerial Fellowship Committee, but no less than 400 UUA congregations have been affected by clergy sexual misconduct of one kind or another, some of them more than once by two or more UUA ministers. . . In fact those few U*Us who are "in the know" about UUA clergy sexual abuse matters believe that more like 600-700 of the UUA's 1000 or so congregations have been affected by clergy sexual misconduct at one time or another.
The fact of the matter is that I have actually done plenty to try and obtain not only genuine justice for myself and numerous other victims of UU clergy abuse of various kinds, in my case the clergy misconduct was not of a sexual nature, but I have also made considerable efforts to ensure that the handling of clergy misconduct complaints by the UUA, and individual UU congregations, is significantly improved; however the UUA has repeatedly proved that it much prefers the status quo of routinely dismissing clergy misconduct complaints and doing its best to intimidate clergy abuse victims and whistleblowers into silence. Who knew that complaining about U*U clergy misconduct, and engaging in peaceful public protest against Unitarian Universalist clergy abuse was "behaving erratically"?
Congratulations Amy! You just added your name to the long list of Unitarian Universalist women, some of whom are indeed mothers, who are MUCH more interested in trying to discredit Unitarian Universalist clergy abuse victims and whistleblowers than actually do anything productive to ensure that clergy abuse victims finally receive some genuine justice, or ensuring that the UUA's inadequate and seriously flawed policies and procedures for handling clergy misconduct complaints are responsibly reformed. You also earned yourself a blog post on The Emerson Avenger blog. Well done!
