While we are no longer producing new Tent Talks episodes every now and then we will take the opportunity to point listeners to new projects. Tent producer and co-host Chris Marchand has just begun releasing a new podcast we wanted you to be aware of: Wall of Silence, about church abuse and mishandling in the Anglican Church in North America. This is the second of two preview episodes we are offering in the Tent feed.  This episode introduces a parable, a kind of alternate version of the abuse cases of Cherin Marie's daughter and Joanna Rudenborg, and also features an interview segment with Stephen Backhouse, as did the first episode.You can find the Wall of Silence wherever you listen to podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wall-of-silenceChris has also set up a Patreon account for those who want to support the podcast in that way: https://www.patreon.com/WallofSilencePodcast

While we are no longer producing new Tent Talks episodes every now and then we will take the opportunity to point listeners to new projects. Tent producer and co-host Chris Marchand has just begun releasing a new podcast we wanted you to be aware of: Wall of Silence. Here is the description: In this first episode we introduce the sexual abuse case of lay pastor Mark Rivera. From there we begin to look outward to see how church leadership responded to it, from the local diocese to the national denomination, the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). As "the thesis," this episode is the explanation for why this podcast exists and whose story we are telling: the advocacy group ⁠ACNAtoo⁠ and all victims, whistleblowers, and advocates against church abuse in the ACNA.You can find the Wall of Silence wherever you listen to podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wall-of-silenceChris has also set up a Patreon account for those who want to support the podcast in that way: https://www.patreon.com/WallofSilencePodcast
