Sons of Patriarchy draws crowd for live podcast episode investigating Christ Church
The Sons of Patriarchy podcast attracted a large audience at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre in Moscow, where it recorded a live episode centered on allegations of abuse within Christ Church. Host Peter Bell interviewed author Sarah Stankorb, who has studied female survivors of church-related abuse across the U. S. Bell explained that the podcast was initiated in response to a think tank's interest in Pastor Doug Wilson of Christ Church, and he has since connected with survivors to share their stories. Stankorb discussed her recent book "Disobedient Women," which explores the challenges faced by women leaving abusive religious environments and highlighted the need for community support.
Both speakers encouraged local residents to unite against Christ Church and help those affected by abuse. Bell expressed a desire to return to Moscow, aiming to challenge Wilson's influence. The podcast episode is now available for download, and more information can be found on the Sons of Patriarchy website. The event's timing aimed to elevate awareness of the podcast over the church's scheduled events.
