ProtestantAccountability.org launched August 19, 2026 as a survivor-run archive of more than 2,700 publicly reported abuse and cover-up allegations across 100+ Protestant denominations, modeled on the Catholic-focused BishopAccountability.org. Organizers say they compile court records, news reports, and other public documents and do not run their own investigations; the site’s terms say listings are not determinations of guilt. Christianity Today and The Roys Report covered the launch; Southern Baptist leaders had voted in 2022 to build a denomination database that was later put on hold.
