Another question this raises is the relationship of Gauthier's Anglican News Update to the Greenhouse Movement, which apparently share a mailing address:

It completely undermines the intergrity of the ACNA Executive Committee to have a member authoring and distributing propaganda like this.

To have a member of the ACNA Exec Committee serve as an outlet for Ruch to frame his case to a wider audience is deeply problematic.

Gauthier, a former UMD Bishop's Council member & wife to the UMD Canon Theologian - is functionally running court interference for Ruch.

While Gauthier castigates Runyan at length, not a single mention is made of the Court’s April order (that evidence re investivate process was improper) being violated by the Court itself, which places her authorial bias on clear display.

The screenshot above is from the "Anglican News Update" newsletter sent out regularly by Barbara Gauthier, who was added to the ACNA Provincial Executive Committee as of June 19, 2025.

I just...what. "The newly appointed Provincial Prosecutor received his Anglican Studies certificate from and enthusiastically endorses a program established by the very entity he is appointed to prosecute." 🙃

Yeah, that it's a continued pattern is pretty damning leadership-wise.

Agreed. My job dropped when I learned about that situation.

Thank you so much!

Do you have a link handy for the study you reference? Hyper-empathy is something I would love to read more about because that really resonates.
