The Spin

Right narrative

The ACNA, born from rejecting progressive decay, must fully investigate Archbishop Wood's alleged misconduct — sexual impropriety, financial misuse and abusive leadership. These charges, detailed in the media and official affidavits, threaten the church's moral foundation. Unethical behavior has no place in a denomination claiming orthodoxy. Transparency and justice are vital to restore trust and uphold the ACNA's mission.

Left narrative

Conservative bigotry, not progressive values, enables abuse. Rigid male-only hierarchies shield predators while obsessing over banning women priests. ACNA’s 300 clergy chase "orthodoxy" yet ignore power abuses harming the vulnerable. Leaders debate women in pulpits but refuse to root out coercive men. Real reform demands justice, not misogyny.
