Acting as a halfway point for this season, episode 10 is a recap of the story the Wall of Silence has told so far as well as an overview of other ongoing abuse cases in the ACNA and broader Anglican world as the July 2025 presentment trial of Bishop Stewart Ruch is now quickly approaching. Along with this, Chris shares a personal reflection telling more of the background of what happened this past summer when the podcast was put on pause and how his experiences relate to the wearing of scarlet letters and a community's need for witch hunts.
This episode also features a segment with Audrey Luhmann and an excerpt from an interview with political theologian Stephen Backhouse.
