carved out space in Anna’s closet for a dedicated
“outbox”—a place to drop items she planned to sell.
“Everyone should have one in the closet,” says Patty.
“Even an oversize shopping bag or a collapsible
laundry basket will work.”
These days, before Anna brings a new item into
her home, she evaluates what will go out. “Now
that everything is visible, I know exactly what I

Moves In
As your parents age, you
may make the decision to
have them live with you
and your family, including any
kids still at home. Here’s
how to make a full house
a happy one.
PREPARE FOR CHANGE
It may be hard to create space in
your home, but it will also be difficult
for your parents to leave the life
and independence they’ve been used
to. Be patient as people deal with
the transition in their own ways.
DEFINE THE SPACE
An extra person or two can make a
house feel claustrophobic, but every
member of the family deserves a
special spot, whether it’s a comfy chair,
a private closet, or a basement nook.
Make sure each person feels ownership
of a particular area.
KEEP SHARED AREAS
IN ORDER
With everyone’s input, create
house rules about using shared items
like dishes or the coffeemaker. The
gist should be that every object has
a place and should be returned
there when not in use.

 KEEP THE
AN ONLINE MOVEMENT CALLED #CHURCHTOO IS
LEADING THE CHARGE TO HOLD RELIGIOUS
INSTITUTIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEXUAL ABUSE
BEHIND THEIR DOORS. KATIE TROUT SHARES HER
STORY TO HELP OTHER SURVIVORS COME FORWARD.
K
atie Trout practically
grew up at Calvary Church,
an evangelical megachurch in
Charlotte, NC. As a kid, she
spent at least two days a week
there, attending Sunday services and taking
part in Wednesday night activities. But as she

got older, she felt lonely, lost in the throngs
of young people who regularly hung out on the
sprawling campus.
In 2000, when she was 15, she got to
know Joseph,* a popular and charismatic
35-year-old church employee who acted in the
church’s drama group and volunteered with
the children’s ministry. Katie worked with
Joseph behind the scenes as a stage manager
for church productions. “I joined that group
hoping to get plugged in somewhere at church,”
Katie says now. “It started off with me really
just wanting a friend.”
On Wednesday nights, Katie and Joseph
would sit together at church and talk. She
told him about school, her friends, and her
BY T I F FA N Y S TA N L E Y ✚ P H O T O G R A P H E D BY S TA C E Y VA N B E R K E L
softball games. He would complain about his
job and his marriage. One evening, he offered
to give her a piggyback ride. The request
seemed odd at the time, considering that she
was a teenager, but they were friends and
she just wanted to fit in. Today she recognizes
interactions like these as “grooming”—a term
used to describe the subtle ways abusers build
trust with victims in order to exploit them.
Soon Joseph began to make lewd comments,
and his touch grew increasingly invasive.
He cornered Katie in church stairwells and
elevators and in his car. She was ashamed
and afraid to reveal the situation to anyone,
especially her parents and church leaders. “I was
a good girl growing up, and then this happened,”
she says. “Coming from an ultraconservative
family, I was terrified to speak up.”
Years passed, and Katie says the abuse
continued, even as she started college in
another town. One weekend in 2004, she
returned home to see a church production at
Calvary. While she was there, she alleges,
W O M A N S D AY M A G A Z I N E APRIL 2020 55
Inspire / KEEP THE FAITH
Joseph groped her in a stairwell before the
performance. Katie returned to her dorm
that Sunday, despondent. That night, the
truth seeped out to her college friends.
“I just couldn’t keep it in anymore,” she
says. That summer, Katie’s mother sensed
that something was wrong and convinced
Katie to see a counselor. Eventually, with
the therapist’s help, she disclosed the
abuse to her parents, who were stunned—
Joseph had been a family friend—but
tried to be supportive. Her father reported
the abuse to the church, and the police
were called.
The next year, Joseph pleaded guilty
to a single count of indecent liberties
with a child and received 36 months of
probation. He had left Calvary soon after
Katie reported the incident. Joseph’s attorney
declined to comment on allegations of abuse
outside the indictment, but he said, “[Joseph]
is deeply remorseful. He is aware of the
harm he has caused.” Joseph remains on the
North Carolina sex offender registry.
COMING FORWARD
By 2017, Katie was taking steps to heal from
the abuse. She had moved to Raleigh, NC,
where she bought a house and started a job
in marketing. She briefly found a church that
made her feel comfortable and even joined
a support group there for survivors of sexual
abuse. “The more I started to process what
happened to me, the more I began to see how
prevalent it is everywhere,” she says.
That year, she watched as sexual abuse
survivors came forward as part of the #MeToo
movement. The mention of abuse at the hands
of religious leaders, rather than by powerful
men in media and entertainment, naturally
hit close to home. Those disturbing stories
were labeled on Twitter with the hashtag
#ChurchToo. There were thousands. “I was
shocked at the number of stories coming in,”
says Katie. For the first time, she started to
think about sharing her story publicly.
Activist, poet, and yoga teacher Emily Joy
Allison, who, along with her friend Hannah
Paasch, started the #ChurchToo movement,
knows the fear and shame that come with
revealing details of abuse. In November 2017,
she posted her own story online. “There are
56 APRIL 2020 W O M A N S D AY M A G A Z I N E
Calvary Church
specific things about religious sexual abuse
that don’t apply to [other types of abuse],”
says Allison. “It needed its own conversation.”
As Allison explains, one complicating factor
for victims of sexual abuse in faith communities
is the emphasis, especially in evangelical
churches, on “purity culture,” in which sex
outside marriage is forbidden and teens are
taught to avoid physical temptation. Linda Kay
Klein, author of Pure: Inside the Evangelical
Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young
Women and How I Broke Free, says this ethic
often intersects with sexual abuse in harmful
ways. Women and girls might be blamed for the
abuse because they are seen as having tempted
their abusers. After a sexual violation, they

may also feel as if they’ve failed to uphold the
church’s purity standards. “It’s so common
for victims of abuse in these communities to
be shamed,” Klein says. “And they are often
discouraged from talking about what happened
to them, especially publicly.”
In an environment that relied on silence,
#ChurchToo offered a megaphone. After
Allison detailed her story online, the hashtag
became a tool others could use to share stories
of sexual violence and trauma within churches
and put a spotlight on institutions that failed
to protect the vulnerable.
And #ChurchToo isn’t just an online
phenomenon—ripples have been felt in the
real lives of high-profile pastors and church
leaders. In March 2018, Andy Savage, a
rising star pastor in Memphis, resigned after
admitting to a “sexual incident” with

a teenage girl when he was her youth pastor.

The following month, Bill Hybels, the influential
founder of Willow Creek Community Church
near Chicago, stepped down over sexual
misconduct allegations. That May, Paige
Patterson, the prominent president
of a Southern Baptist seminary,
was fired over allegations that he
mishandled a report of rape.
By November 22, 2017, Katie had
worked up the courage to share her
story. She logged in to Twitter and
typed out her own account: “Groomed
at 15 by church employee, sexually
abused for four years…lifelong
megachurch turned [its] back on me.”
FINDING A FUTURE
Sitting in her living room
in Raleigh last November,
Katie reflected on the ways
the abuse still affected her.
WORKING FOR OTHERS
In the past year, Katie began to channel her
negative feelings into helping other victims of
child sex abuse in North Carolina. The state has

sexual abuse charges, but until recently

says Katie. in treating survivors of church sexual
abuse. “There’s nothing they can
do about it. That’s more

To help change this,
Katie wrote state legislators,

unraveling all of this.”

She’s still hurt by what she perceives as
a lack of sensitivity from Calvary Church. She
says one of the pastors was compassionate,
but on the whole, she felt a lack of care. “They’ve
never said, ‘We’re sorry,’” she says.
In response to this article, Calvary Church
sent a three-paragraph statement saying in part:
“The case in question occurred before the tenure
of our current leadership. However…Calvary is
fully committed to providing a safe and nurturing
spiritual home for members and attenders of all
ages and backgrounds.” The church, it notes,
requires background checks and added oversight
It also created a two-year window for other
survivors to file lawsuits. This provision
covers Katie’s case, and as this article went
to print, she was still weighing her options
regarding civil action.
Katie insists that none of her advocacy is
about damaging the church. She believes in God
and considers herself religious, but hasn’t felt
comfortable going to church in about two years.
“In this period of my life, I don’t have to be in
a church building to find church,” she says.
“I find Jesus more through other survivors
than I do hearing a sermon preached.”

and interviews for all who work with children

and students. The statement concludes, “We’re
thankful that Katie has shared her experience as
it has allowed us to have a heightened sensitivity
to the needs of survivors of abuse.”

SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT

Are Carbs Keeping You Awake?

The pasta or pizza you ate for dinner may prevent you from getting a
good night’s rest. A recent study found that women who ate a lot of added
sugars and refined carbs had a greater risk of developing insomnia. Refined
sugar can spike your blood sugar, causing an insulin response to lower
it. If blood sugar gets too low, the body releases stress hormones, which
can interfere with sleep. A good evening meal for shut-eye? A bean-based

carbohydrates. Fiber is especially important: Unlike
simple carbohydrates such as refined white flour, which

The Quiet
Heart Risk
There’s a lot of misinformation
about heart failure that could put
you in danger. Learn about the
condition, including must-knows
that could save your life.
BY R A C H E L M O R R I S
THE BASICS
Heart failure doesn’t
mean the heart has
given out or quit beating (that’s
cardiac arrest). It means the
muscle no longer pumps blood
throughout the body as well as it
should, usually because it’s too
weak, thick, or stiff. It’s a serious
condition, but most patients can
live a normal life with appropriate
Dr. Sidney’s research shows
that heart failure–related deaths
are rising in younger and older
women, likely due to increases
in obesity and type 2 diabetes,
two risk factors for the condition.
Hypertension, or high blood
pressure, is also a risk factor,
as it makes the heart work less
effectively over time. In fact,
blacks (who have a higher risk of
hypertension) are 20 times as likely
BE AWARE OF
THE SYMPTOMS
Signs can be subtle, but
take any changes—such as unusual
shortness of breath (especially
when lying down), excessive
fatigue, and swelling in the legs,
ankles, feet, or abdomen—
seriously. “Women often ignore
symptoms because they’re busy
taking care of everyone else,”
says Lili A. Barouch, M.D., an
associate professor of medicine
in the division of cardiology at
Johns Hopkins University School
of Medicine.
TAKE STEPS
TO PREVENT IT
Controlling blood
pressure is key, says Dr. Sidney.
Hypertension pushes the heart
to work harder, so it enlarges
and becomes less efficient.
Managing diabetes is also a
must—chronically high blood
sugar can damage heart blood
vessels. Keep both conditions
under control by eating a

sugar, cornstarch, and

start gradually adding sugar
mixture, 1 Tbsp at a time
over a 2- to 3-minute period,
until stiff, glossy peaks form.
4 Reduce mixer speed
to medium and mix in vanilla.
Fold in pistachios. Use a
small amount of meringue
to glue each corner of the
parchment paper to the
baking sheet (this will stop
it from moving around when
you spread the meringue).
Spoon meringue onto
prepared baking sheet
and, using the rectangle
as a guide, swirl into an
even layer.
5 Transfer to oven and
immediately turn down the
temperature to 225°F; bake
2 hours. Turn oven off and
leave to cool completely
until dry, at least 3 to 4 hours.
6 Meanwhile, make the sauce:
In a small food processor,
puree confectioners’ sugar
and 2 cups raspberries until
smooth. Using a fine-mesh
sieve, strain mixture into
a small bowl, pressing down
with a wooden spoon. Cover
and refrigerate until ready
to serve.
7 When ready to serve,
make cream mixture: Using
an electric mixer, beat cream,
yogurt, and confectioners’
sugar in a large bowl until
medium stiff peaks form.
Spoon over pavlova, then
drizzle with raspberry
sauce. Top with remaining
raspberries, chopped
pistachios, and mint leaves.
