Christa Brown has been described as “the public face” of Baptist clergy sex abuse survivors. She talks openly about the minister who molested and raped her when she was a kid. She wrote about her experience in her book, Baptistland: A Memoir of Abuse, Betrayal, and Transformation.
She was the first Baptist clergy sex abuse survivor to directly address members of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee at the “Baptist Vatican” in Nashville and continued to plead for reforms for nearly twenty years. She has been profiled and quoted by numerous national and international news outlets. She served on the Board of Directors for SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, and the Board of Advisors for the Child-Friendly Faith Project.
For twenty-five years, she practiced law in Texas and was a board-certified specialist in civil appellate law.
Currently she spends her time hiking, practicing yoga, and being a mom and a grandma, and wife to her husband of over forty years
