Shining light on Baptist clergy sex abuse  
 The voice of SNAP Baptist  | 

 
 
"This little light of mine ...
  I'm gonna let it shine"

This "little light" shines for the many other clergy abuse victims whose voices have been silenced. Silenced by shame. Silenced by the false instruction of religious leaders. Silenced by church shunning and bullying. Silenced by church contracts for secrecy. Silenced by suicide. The mission of StopBaptistPredators.org is to break the silence of Baptist clergy sex abuse.
