To Suffer in Silence
David Pittman, a survivor of child sexual abuse and founder of Together We Heal, shares his story of suffering abuse in a Southern Baptist church and spotlights how a culture of silence impacts not only survivors but their families, congregations and communities as well, often hindering progress toward accountability and healing. Drawing on his journey of recovery and advocacy, David emphasizes that meaningful actions are the only way to protect, defend and support those who cannot speak for themselves.
David Pittman is the Director of Together We Heal and is a Safeguarding Educator with GRACE (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment). David is a survivor of child sexual abuse perpetrated by a Southern Baptist minister. For over 18 years he’s worked toward reform within The Church and its abuse issues, with the goal of helping change the culture to one that better protects children and holds perpetrators fully accountable.
Plenary Session 2 (Tuesday Morning 5/20 – 10:30-Noon)
The Lord is an Avenger: Patriarchy, Predators and Preventing Exploitation
This session will explore the dynamics of abuse and harassment through power analysis, description of manipulation tactics, and common boundary testing. Through case examples and conversation, approaches to prevention of abuse/harassment and cultivation of safe behaviors will be learned.
Rev. Dr. Meredith Stone has served since 2020 as Executive Director of Baptist Women in Ministry (BWIM), an organization advocating for the full affirmation of women in ministry and leadership in Baptist life. BWIM’s vision is for women to thrive as they minister and lead within Baptist communities. A graduate of Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University (Ph.D. in Bible Interpretation), she is the author of “Empire and Gender in LXX Esther” (SBL Press, 2018) and has published extensively on women in ministry and religious gender justice. Her advocacy for women among Baptists has been featured in national news outlets such as CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, NPR, and Religion News Service.
Rev. Dr. Jay Kieve serves as the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship’s Director of Ministerial Transitions and Abuse Prevention and Response Advocate. He is also passionate about helping churches become places free from abuse where everyone can thrive. Jay is a safeguarding specialist for GRACE (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment) and a facilitator for Darkness to Light’s “Stewards of Children.” He routinely seeks trauma-related learning and is trained as a victim’s advocate. Jay volunteers with local rape crisis/child advocacy centers and supports churches as they develop great policies and procedures for preventing abuse.
Plenary Session 3 (Tuesday Afternoon 5/20 – 3:30-5:00PM) – PANEL
Breaking the Silence: Addressing Abuse in Baptist Communities
Abuse within Baptist communities takes many forms—clergy sexual abuse and misconduct, domestic violence and racialized spiritual abuse—yet Baptist churches and institutions often struggle to respond effectively. This panel brings together legal, theological, social work, and survivor perspectives to examine the challenges of addressing abuse and creating safer, more just Baptist communities. Robert G. Callahan II, Rev. Geneece Goertzen, Lucy Huh and Chellee Taylor will discuss institutional accountability, survivor advocacy, and practical steps for reform. This conversation will explore how Baptists can confront abuse with both courage and conviction.
Robert G. Callahan II is a Baylor Law School graduate, adjunct professor, award-winning attorney, and author of the book Fire in the Whole: Embracing Our Righteous Anger with White Christianity and Reclaiming Our Wholeness which tackles spiritual abuse in the form of racism, misogyny, and bigotry. His firm, Callahan & King, PLLC, handles several practice areas, including cases of clergy abuse filed on behalf of survivors of sexual abuse in the church.
Rev. Geneece Goertzen, MDiv/LMSW, is a Ph.D. candidate in the Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University. Her research focuses on the intersection of faith and practice regarding domestic violence. As a survivor, she is passionate about turning pain into purpose for helping others, as evidenced in her 2024 book, Taking it Seriously: A Faith Leader’s Guide to Domestic Violence. Additional resources are available at HopeRiseThrive.com.
Lucy Huh is a Ph.D. student and doctoral research fellow at Baylor University’s Center for Church and Community Impact, where her research and advocacy focus on preventing clergy-perpetrated abuse of adult women through legislative and institutional reform. She has led policy initiatives including California Senate Bill 894, and serves on the boards of The North American Association of Christians in Social Work (NACSW) and Awake, a national organization working to address abuse in the Catholic Church.
Chellee Taylor was an active community member and employee of Baptist churches for 14 years until clergy-perpetrated sexual abuse abruptly ended her involvement. As a survivor, she faced poor institutional response, betrayal, a legal battle, and rejection from the church she once cherished. Now, Chellee is involved in multiple nonprofits focused on abuse, advocating for and empowering survivors, and seeking dialogue with institutional leaders to create safer Christian communities and promote lasting reform.
Moderator: Dr. Jon Singletary, Dean of the Diana R. Garland School of Social Work, Baylor University
Plenary Session 4 (Wednesday 5/21 – 10:30-Noon)
Adult Clergy Sexual Abuse: Impact on Survivors
This plenary session will define Adult Clergy Sexual Abuse (ACSA) and describe the impact. ACSA involves pastors using their power and position to engage in sexual acts with those in their care, leading to severe psychological and spiritual harm. The status quo in 2025 is tragic: Congregations often blame victims and perpetrators are rarely held accountable.
Dr. David Pooler is a Professor of Social Work at Baylor University, where he has taught clinical intervention courses for 16 years. He is the Director of the Adult Clergy Sexual Abuse: Advocacy and Research Collaborative, exploring ACSA by combining research with clinical insights from treatment of survivors. This approach provides unique perspectives on how ACSA occurs, how healing happens, and what justice should look like.
