UUA Clergy Removed or Resigned from Fellowship with Completed or Pending Misconduct Investigations And UUA Clergy Sex Abuse Cover-Up Efforts - What's The Connection?

According to the UUA's web page listing 'UUA Clergy Removed or Resigned from Fellowship with Completed or Pending Misconduct Investigations', not one single Unitarian Universalist minister has been removed from fellowship for conduct UNbecoming of a sexual nature since 2017.

Not one. . .

ALL of the UUA ministers who have been removed from fellowship since 2017 were removed for non-sexual forms of clergy misconduct, and some of those removals from fellowship are open to question.

They are:

• 2020 Todd Eklof: Removed for Noncooperation (bullying and abusive behavior)
  
  
• 2021 Scott McNeill: Removed for Conduct Unbecoming (bullying and abusive behavior in the workplace); appealed to Board of Review; appeal denied
  
  
• 2022 Kate Rohde: Removed for defaming and interfering in the ministry of colleagues
  
  
• 2022 Terry Cummings: Removed for concerning behaviors towards staff and an inability to maintain successful professional relationships
  
  
• 2022 David Morris: Removed for Noncooperation (refusal to complete probation)
  
  More to the point. . . the above ministers were removed for alleged misconduct towards their fellow UUA ministers, or church staff.
  
  Two ministers resigned from fellowship while under investigation for clergy sexual misconduct since 2017, namely:
  
  
• 2019 Aaron McEmrys: Conduct Unbecoming (sexual misconduct)
  
  
• 2019 Roger Mohr: Conduct Unbecoming (sexual misconduct)
  
  Both of these resignations took place approximately four years ago in 2019.
  
  So the question arises as to whether or not the UUA is properly handling clergy sexual misconduct complaints when so few UUA ministers have been removed from fellowship since 2017.
  
  Another question that arises is whether or not the Ministerial Fellowship Committee has been "weaponized" against Unitarian Universalist ministers who dare to publicly criticize the UUA, as appears to be the case with the removal from fellowship of Rev. Todd Eklof who was Removed for Noncooperation with the MFC for alleged "bullying and abusive behavior", and Rev. Kate Rohde, who was removed for allegedly "defaming and interfering in the ministry of colleagues".
  
  I suppose I should be gratified to see that *some* UUA ministers are being removed from fellowship for "bullying and abusive behavior in the workplace" something that is long overdue. . . but I can't help but suspect that the UUA is continuing to mishandle clergy sexual misconduct complaints, to say nothing of complaints about non-sexual misconduct against congregants etc., and is continuing to keep clergy sexual misconduct concealed from U*Us and the general public as much as it thinks it can get away with.
  
  In fact, I notice the absence of former Nashville U*U Church minister Rev. Jason Shelton from this official list of 'UUA Clergy Removed or Resigned from Fellowship with Completed or Pending Misconduct Investigations'. Perhaps this "interesting" absence is due to the fact that Rev. Jason Shelton confessed to his "indiscretion", and "resigned from the Unitarian Universalist ministry in 2019", *before* an MFC investigation into his clergy sexual misconduct could even begin. If this is the case, I can only wonder how many other UUA ministers who were guilty of clergy sexual misconduct of one kind or another avoided MFC investigations into their clergy sexual misconduct by resigning from fellowship before the UUA's aptly named Ministerial *Fellowship* Committee initiated investigations into their sexual misconduct. . .
