We were polished arrows for God, intended to fly beyond our parents’ sphere of influence. If you lose an arrow in a battle, you don’t get it back. It’s expendable. That’s why you need a whole quiver of them. open.substack.com/pub/mburtwri...

“Here’s the bottom line: very important information is being withheld from you by the Court, the Archbishop, and the Archbishop’s staff.” Rachel Thebeau, Esq., Asst. Counsel to the ACNA Provincial Prosecutor, describes what she witnessed in the trial of Bp. Ruch:

On 7/20/25, Abp. Wood announced that Archdeacon Job Serebrov has been appointed as the new Provincial Prosecutor. However, concerns have been raised regarding Serebrov’s undisclosed ties to the Greenhouse Movement and leadership in the Diocese of the Upper Midwest. 1/7

His resignation includes a request that the entire trial record and full transcript — all properly redacted — be made available to all ACNA members. religionnews.com/2025/07/21/p...

Many of HSLDA’s board members are close associates of Speaker Mike Johnson—doing as much as he can to destroy public education and send scrambling families to be placed under the dominion of his friends.

The Very Rev. Dr. Dan Alger has shaped the ACNA’s church planting strategy for over a decade as the Provincial Canon for Church Planting and the director of Always Forward. In May 2025, he was removed as rector of Redeemer, yet there has not been a transparent process.

Jun. 11 the ACNA published the Bishops’ Presentment against Bp. Ruch, previously unseen by ACNA members for 2.5 years. It was then removed for redaction and has not been returned. We are re-posting the presentment today, properly redacted. #anglican #ACNA #churchtoo #acnatoo

Worth a read although the team rejected my proposed title: "Who Makes the Laws (Ashey's version)."

I cannot forget the moment that I asked, “Did my parents know?” and the survivor replied, “Yes, I told them.” abbinye.substack.com/p/combating-...

This sat on my parents’ bookshelves when I was growing up. Like most Christian parenting book authors, Tomczak wrote the book when he was the parent of a toddler. His lack of practical experience or theological training didn’t prevent him from telling parents exactly what God expected them to do.

The ACNA in public: "The province took initiative and investigated the UMD all by themselves."

By the time I reached 18, I had already clocked over 10 years of childcare. On paper, I was well-qualified to become a mother. The reality was less tidy. abbinye.substack.com/p/motherhood...

Head-of-household voting may seem far-fetched to many who believe their political opponents operate within a shared value of democracy. Survivors from the Christian fundamentalist homeschooling movement of the 1980s and 1990s know better. religiondispatches.org/want-to-know...

New Wall of Silence episode: the presentment against ACNA Bp. Stewart Ruch. 7 cases, 3 charges. "I read through the [consecration] service in the Book of Common Prayer, and it’s so beautiful. And Stewart has so obviously not lived up to that." - Megan Tucker podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

IF YOU WERE HOMESCHOOLED AND EXPERIENCED EDUCATIONAL NEGLECT BECAUSE OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS: we want to hear from you, today. responsiblehomeschooling.org/amicus-brief...

IL HB 2827 moved out of committee yesterday, despite stiff opposition. This morning, the @chicagotribune.com published a letter to the editor that I put together with some IL homeschool alumna. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/03/20/l...

Right now, Illinois is considering the Homeschool Act (HB 2827 ). I’ve seen considerable pushback on the bill from homeschooling parents and I wanted to understand their concerns, so I read the bill myself. www.ilga.gov/legislation...

Illinois is currently considering HB 2827, which would create protective structures for homeschooled students. If you’re wondering why those structures are necessary, listen to adults who were homeschooled K-12. open.substack.com/pub/abbinye/...

We need to listen to survivors of Christian cults. These survivors have experienced years—sometimes decades—inside places that make Project 2025 look like child’s play. How do we resist? Here are a few suggestions. open.substack.com/pub/abbinye/...

"Crunchy Christian moms think they’re waking up, but homeschool alumni from the 1980s and 1990s know better. It’s not waking up, it’s historical amnesia." ~ @abbinye.bsky.social

You could spill almost any intimate health information if you stirred “this is a prayer request” into the tea. “Be praying for…” was my mother’s standard opening for all manner of confidential information. abbinye.substack.com/p/sanctified...

The newest Wall of Silence episode is making me feel ALL THE THINGS. open.spotify.com/episode/0IJm...

It benefits cults and high-control churches to lock people in before they grow up to ask questions. It’s much easier to keep people ensnared when they know nothing else. abbinye.substack.com/p/qualifacat...

Why persist in this work if it irreparably changes us? Why fight the Long Defeat? Perhaps because my Advent hope cannot be fully extinguished. Perhaps because I do not disagree with the Quiverfull parents—the struggle for justice will span many generations. open.substack.com/pub/abbinye/...
