17. My Husband Left

Joined our local Episcopalian Church and never looked back. He was tired of them hating on gay people and women, but the straw that broke the camel's back was the systematic abuse of children. He was fortunate that he was never abused himself. There was one priest at his parish in Indianapolis that was later found out to be a pedo, but my husband and his brothers always stayed away from him.

My question is usually about who is funding these changes. Lonestarblue May 2024 #1
