    People Throw Rocks At Things That Shine: A Clergy Whistleblower's Journey
    • 2022

      "?I felt desperate about what was happening. The entire meeting [with the bishop] was less than 15 minutes. I went to my car and vomited in the parking lot. I knew that I had just been threatened?."There are no books like this one. At least not true ones. Woven into a beautiful sharing of heart and soul ministry, discipleship, and hope in the saving grace of Jesus Christ is the unveiling of disturbing clergy secrets. This account is about a journey through the inner workings of the clergy world of the United Methodist Church. It is about abusive leadership, jealousy and a toxic culture cloaked by the politics of the day. It is a whistleblower's tale of how bad actors are running the show in a system set up to be upheld through holy integrity, but instead naively lends itself to power abuse. While Beth's personal story is told from the perspective of traditional clergy at the bottom of church hierarchy, she also shares insider knowledge of the mistreatment of those with progressive theology much closer to the top. Beth offers insights on how a rogue employment system is enabled to flourish and offers solutions to correct it.
