Abstract

Contains a description of the responses made by faith-based groups to sexual abuse in their midst, e.g., the presence of both former perpetrators and survivors of sexual abuse among their membership. Also described are prior approaches that, however well-meaning, have led to strain and discomfort among members of congregations.
