We Too: How the Church Can Respond Redemptively to the Sexual Abuse Crisis, Paperback/Mary E. Demuth

Descriere

Time's Up: Addressing the Unspoken Crisis in the Church We like to think the church is a haven for the hurting. But what happens when it's not? Author and advocate Mary De Muth urges the church she loves to rise up and face the evil of sexual abuse and harassment with candor and empathy. Based on research and survivors' stories, along with fierce fidelity to Scripture, De Muth unpacks the church's response to sexual violence and provides a healthy framework for the church to become a haven of healing instead of an institution of judgment. In the throes of the #Me Too movement, our response as Christians is vital. God beckons us to be good Samaritans to those facing trauma and brokenness in the aftermath of abuse and provide safe spaces to heal. De Muth advocates for a culture of honesty and listening and calls on the church to enter the places where people are hurting. In the circle of that kind of empathetic #We Too community, the church must become what it's meant to be--a place of justice and healing for everyone.
