Complacency, complicity, and silence on the matter of sexual abuse in the Church contradicts God’s call to protect the vulnerable, bring healing, and seek justice. These realities also undermine the credibility of the gospel we claim to believe and preach. In this panel discussion, we will examine how churches can help prevent sexual abuse, meaningfully respond when such abuse comes to light, and be a part of the healing process for victims and their families.
