Description

What happens to the sense of community and faith of a congregation that finds itself wounded by pastoral sexual abuse? Resources are available to victims and abusers, but what about the congregation, also left with feelings of disbelief, disillusionment, and anger? Leading workers and researchers in this area each offer help on a specific topic. Case studies and first-person testimonies appear throughout. Published in association with the Interfaith Sexual Trauma Institute.
