Bestselling author (Ghosted: An American Story) and former Church of Christ member Nancy French opens up about her new memoir and allegations of sexual abuse by a minister when she was growing up in Churches of Christ. She talks about how sexual abuse happens in Christian churches and organizations and why they sometimes protect perpetrators and not their victims. And, in Christianity, where forgiveness of sins and redemption are central, how might congregations hold abusers accountable while also holding fast to the gospel?
