• A brilliant article on this -https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2022/july-web-only/rape-david-bathsheba-adultery-sexual-sin-prophet-nathan.html
• The movement seeking reform in how the Anglican Church of Canada responds to survivors, co-founded by Michael Buttrey and Carolyn Mackie - https://www.acctoo.ca/
• One particularly helpful page on ACCToo is 'Before you report' which provides information and recommendations for those reporting abuse. 'These recommendations are not tailored for any specific diocese or institution. They are also not legal advice and no substitute for professional counsel or therapy' - https://www.acctoo.ca/resources/before-you-report/
