Thank you for considering sharing your experience and perspective through the In Spirit and Truth Survivors' Voices series. This sign-up form is an opportunity to express your interest in having your voice included (anonymously) in future posts. I hope that these posts will help readers to listen with compassion and survivors to feel a little less alone.

Here's how this works: Each month, I send a monthly topic via email to a group of survivors, and you will have the opportunity to share your own thoughts and feelings in response to that topic. I will then bring together these replies into one or more blog posts on the subject, sharing a variety of responses in an anonymous list. (For one example, check out the first post in this series, which was compiled from responses to the question "What is one thing you would like to say to Catholics about the problem of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church? - https://inspiritandtruth.substack.com/p/what-i-want-to-say-to-catholics.)

My goal is to include insight from people who have experienced various forms of abuse in the Catholic Church and bring a variety of perspectives - from women and men, young and old, those who were abused as children and those abused as adults, those who have remained Catholic and those who have left the Church (and every grey area in between).

Please complete the form below if you'd like me to send you the next monthly topic, along with more details about how this will work. You are under no obligation to reply to any particular topic, so by submitting this form, you're simply giving me permission to include you (blind-copied, of course) on the email.

You are welcome to opt out at any time, and your information on this form will be kept confidential. (I am the only person working on this blog, so I'm the only one who will see this.)

More details can be found on the blog: inspiritandtruth.substack.com. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have questions: inspiritandtruth@substack.com

Thank you.
