Growing up in a high-control religious group generally means being denied a proper education, having a warped understanding of sex and gender thrust upon you, and lacking protections against abuse.

With SCOTUS gearing up to expand "religious liberty" as the right to dominate...

These issues must be brought into the public eye as much as possible. Above all, that means listening to survivors and advocating for children's rights.

@laureneoneal's and my follow-up volume to Empty the Pews: Stories of Leaving the Church, will highlight these concerns

Please share our call for submissions widely. And, if you have a story that might be a fit for the volume, please consider submitting it. Thanks!
