The author describes a life long struggle with secrets of his childhood at the hands of the pastor of his family's Episcopal Church. A teddy bear helps on the tortuous path toward a late life decision to sue his 95 year old abuser. This true story is a study in the complicity of family systems, the institutional church, the law, and the dangers of un-examined trust. \u003cp\u003eIt is the story of my life of carrying the secrets of sexual exploitation by my family's Episcopal Priest. I write about my own life as an Episcopal priest and also of effects of my secret on my wife and children. I describe \"places\" which were part of the secret and the effects of the tangling of spiritual moments with sexual moments and the impact of that on faith formation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mill City Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50057526083824,"sku":"9781626523999","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626523999_p0.jpg?v=1784741973","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626523999","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
