Thanks for your question. I'm trying to be cautious in how much information I share about the victims. But you can find a recap of the key issues, with links to more information, here: https://chrisdamian.substack.com/p/more-words-on-fire-an-ex-employees?s=w

Word on Fire has stated that none of the allegations involved employees: https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/press/zero-tolerance-statement/

Ok, im going to take some time to read all that. But for now, and I could wrong in my thinking, but why is word on fire, or any company or ministry, responsible to apologize to the victims in someones personal life?

I think the answer to that question would be similar to the question: Why would a bishop need to apologize to victims in a priest's personal life?

A question for your question. Does a priest have a personal life? or is a priest always at work and through his priesthood always have this power dynamic that he could abuse?

Ok, I read the those items and some other reports by the pillar. I think I stand by my question on why they are responsible for the gross action in someone personal life. And if we do think that companies or ministries have a responsibility to apologize to victims, is it only victims of sexual abuse? I totally think someone should be fired for what he did though. Im just struggling with what word on fire, or any organization, should do in this circumstance.
