No Scapegoats began with one person's conviction that there had to be a better way.
Lynora Bayless, raised in a family of faith, saw how the teachings of Jesus stood against scapegoating — yet also saw how often people of faith and communities of conscience still fall into the trap of blame. She felt compelled to start the conversation about how to resist blame in a culture drowning in it; to build bridges where most only draw lines, and to create a movement that would foster a way of living that refuses scapegoats, and chooses compassion, understanding, and shared responsibility.
