Breaking the silence: developing a conversational process to equip pastors for ministry with adult survivors of child sexual abuse

Brown, Mary Kennedy 13 May 2024 (has links)
The epidemic of child sexual abuse transcends all superficial boundaries, and adult survivors comprise a significant portion of most church congregations. This project examines the ongoing devastation wrought by child sexual abuse and shows how the hope within basic beliefs of Christianity applies to the struggles of adult survivors. A series of individual conversations will increase pastors’ awareness of the problem and offer tools for non-targeted ministry with survivors, using principles of appreciative inquiry. The project advocates for the use of preaching to acknowledge both the evil of child sexual abuse, and the power of the gospel to bring healing and restoration.
