Abuse within faith communities is something we hear from our community about a lot. In particular, how abuse and sexual assault in faith communities complicate recovery because our spiritual life becomes tied to the most intimate and terrifying experience of our lives. Where can we find sanctuary following compounded abuse?
This episode is a panel discussion on Abuse of Power: How the Church Can Respond. Joining us is Annette Cutino, Director, LEAD.NYC, Boz Tchividjian, Attorney & Founder of GRACE, Dr. Diane Langberg, Psychologist and Author, Drew Hyun, Founder, Hope Church NYC, Jay Stringer, Psychotherapist and Author and Faith Huckel Motter, Co-Founder, Restore NYC.
In this conversation, the panelists discuss covert abuse: spiritual, emotional, and overt: physical, sexual, and financial abuses – how abuse hides in plain sight, how to equip faith leaders to address their power and sexual story, and practical steps faith communities can take to protect those they serve, what healing looks like, and what you can do as a victim to fight back and receive justice.
We hope you are encouraged by this conversation, and remember, you are not alone.
