Episode 52: Multigenerational Impacts of Shunning with Craig Hoyle (Mini-Series Part 3)

In this 3rd episode on shunning, Craig Hoyle, author of “Excommunicated” shares about growing up in the Exclusive Brethren, aware that many members of his family have disappeared and been painted by the church as evil. Ultimately Craig faces his own sudden excommunication. This conversation shows powerfully the inter-generational impacts of shunning, both for those who are obliterated from the family tree, and those who are left behind. The interview was recorded at the Oct 24 Decult Conference.
