For Those Who Abuse

From the Mennonite Central Committee's Abuse Response and Prevention website.

Includes these topics:

• If you are harming someone
• If you know someone who is abusive
• Support and Accountability

"Churches that value being a safe space will establish and implement policies for abuse prevention and response. policies is imperative to ensuring that our churches are safe places. We may feel that adopting policies or requiring child abuse and criminal records checks insinuates that people cannot be trusted. We want to assume that no Christian would violate and harm another person and that therefore policies are not unnecessary. The reality, however, is that our churches are made up of imperfect people who are all prone to and will make sinful, non-loving choices."
