Once again a gut wrenching read. I cannot express enough how grieved I am again and again by Vineyard USA’s dismissal of victims and what seems to be attempt after attempt to manage the story for the sake of damage control. It is so past time for the defense of Vineyard USA and the Gatlin’s to stop and for leaders to accept both responsibility and consequence for lack of care and protection for all the victims and their families. If this means a huge set back for Vineyard USA or even the end of it so be it.
What an articulate, profound, and deeply moving account from someone who has every right to seek accountability from those who abused their positions. It's past time for VUSA leadership to acknowledge their role in protecting their own at the expense of the victims who suffered the abuse.

Thank you for speaking up about this, and with such candor and grace.
