COMMUNITIES/CLERGY:
Religious Problems
Encourage
serious reflection on how and why this is a religious problem. The following
quote was adapted from; A Theological Perspective on Sexual Assault
by Mary D. Pellauer.
There are
at least four spiritual dimensions inherent in crisis of violence: (1)
The fundamental experience that they are life-threatening; (2) the sense
of shame and humiliation, (3) issues of trust and betrayal, particularly
as they relate to our capacities for a relationship to God, (4) the need
for others to provide and for victims to accept help in healing the wounds.
Pursue collaborative leadership. Seek out knowledgeable leadership for
projects. People need vision and guidance and it can be provided by those
who have knowledge and experience in the field.
