Jennifer Lyell, a onetime denominational publishing executive who went public in 2019 with allegations that she had been sexually abused by a seminary professor while a student, died Saturday at 47.

Jennifer Lyell's life and her voice mattered. The way we honor her, and other victims of abuse, is to keep fighting the good fight ourselves, whether we see the change we want in our lifetimes or not.

Jennifer Lyell uplifted others' stories in her Christian publishing career, and then her own story faced attacks. Her triumphs are being remembered.

Jennifer Lyell, a prominent whistleblower within the Southern Baptist Convention who brought national attention to sexual abuse within the church, has died. She suffered from a series of strokes.
