Since 1940, over 40 members of the St. John’s community have been accused of sexual abuse or misconduct. An equal or greater number of men has likely participated in the coverup of misconduct. The issues related to sexual abuse and misconduct will not dissipate until an uncompromised voice emerges from the community.  That voice does not appear on this list.
