ACNAtoo was founded in 2021 “in response to the pleas of survivors of sexual abuse and their advocates” winthin the 125,000-member Anglican Church in North America (ACNA.) They claim that while their “front-facing work consists of research, writing, publishing, and serving as an ACNA watchdog” their real passion and heart is found in”working confidentially behind the scenes with survivors who have not received support, accountability, or healing inside the ACNA.”
Sounds noble, until you realize the organization has apostatized and is LGBTQ-affirming, contrary to the thelogical non-negotiables beliefs of the ACNA.
Functioning as spite-filled grievance mongers rather than an official body of the denomination, ACNAtoo recently released a “Statement of Commitment to LGBTQ+ Abuse Survivors,” the result of being convicted that “ACNAtoo’s public silence regarding sexual and gender expression and identity amounts to a false “neutrality” that could lead some abuse survivors to wonder whether it’s safe to reach out to us.” Some of the lowlights include:
Our team members hold a range of personal views on gender and sexuality, and we are a mix of sexual and gender minorities and people of primarily cisgender, heterosexual experience. Some in our group hold views that affirm same-sex marriage/partnerships and celebrate queer sexuality and a diversity of gender expressions and identities.
We all reject the practice of reparative/conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ people and the theology underpinning it, including attempts to limit or police the self-expression of sexual minorities, such as the ACNA’s January 2021 Bishops’ Statement.
If you are a sexual or gender minority and you reach out to us, here is what you can expect:
-We will respect and use your pronouns of reference. -We will not engage in any type of proselytizing or judgment. -If you prefer, we will connect you with one of the fully affirming advocates on our team.
The only question now is how will the ACNA deal with ACNAtoo. Sadly, we have our suspicions.
Given the context, I don't think I want to hear about your "front-facing work" or back-facing either, you creepy perverts!
More recruits for Satan’s Army?
These freaks have the Episcopal denomination where they can strut their stuff. The ACNA specifically broke away from the Episcopal denomination in order to get away from all that woke apostate evil like LGBXYZ.
I don't get it. Why would these freaks want to go where they aren't wanted?
It’s Anglican.
How many aren’t queers, anyway?
Satan gave them marching orders. They won’t be able to stand it until every church is vanquished.
As a member of an Anglican church, who used to be an Episcopalian and left because of this issue, I can see exactly what they’re up to.
The ACNA, especially some in the DC area, are essentially the Episcopal Church by another name. They are just as woke but haven’t signed on to the LGBTQRSTUV agenda yet. At least not publicly.
