We are learning more all the time about tracking who is coming to the site - not by name, of course, but by how they got here.
One of the searches that is being made a lot these days is “Christina Kukuk”. As it turns out, when you google “Christina Kukuk”, this site comes up close to the top of the search results.
This made me want to address whoever it might be, and I imagine this could be sorted into possibly two groups. Well, one would not be a group. One might actually be Christina Kukuk!
I would address her first, then...
"Christina, we are very glad you are visiting to find out how many people have this whole story available to them. Although we understand that this does not reflect well on you, we hope you understand that we had to find a way to create accountability for you and the church. We discovered in our repeated attempts to communicate and understand what was happening when we were members there, that you, the leaders of the church, and even the administrative structure of the United Church of Christ, itself, were all very unwilling to be held accountable, in any way. This account, then, gives people all over the country and in Ashland the opportunity to learn the whole story. A great development in this story line would be if anyone at all from the church, including you, would actually be willing to talk with us about what went wrong, and even, if I may be so bold as to imagine it, to seek genuine repair. We are open to hear your thoughts, if you begin to see the mistakes you have made. So much damage has been done.”
The other camp who may be googling ”Christina Kukuk” might be those who are trying to evaluate her for some reason, perhaps in consideration of attending the church, or maybe even for some future role somewhere. To those folks I would just say, “Take your time. There is plenty to learn here. And if you would like to get in touch to ask questions, we have a contact form, and we are glad to communicate.”
Maybe the mystery of who is googling “Christina Kukuk” will become more clear over time. For now, it seems like a positive development to us.
