Liza Koch, a lay participant offering pastoral reflections from Holy Trinity, and Rolinda Greger, a lay leader from Grace Church in Louisville, discuss a canceled province panel and a replacement forum. They debate whether certain books belong on church platforms. Conversations touch on doctrinal vigilance, accusations that critics enable abusers, hermeneutics around sexuality and gender roles, and practical care for families in parish life.

Churches Need Ideological Standards
- The hosts argue churches must apply ideological purity to materials used in church contexts.
- They say platforming a book that undermines biblical authority is inappropriate for church-affiliated events.
The Contested Book Makes It About Scripture
- The panelists claim the contested book frames traditional readings as rooted in misogyny and trauma.
- They say that framing makes the debate about authority of Scripture, not merely pastoral disagreement.
Protect The Flock With Vetted Resources
- Protect the flock by choosing acceptable sources and teaching signs of grooming and boundary abuse.
- Avoid platforming a single revisionist author; use vetted materials that explicitly help identify abusive leaders.
