As a retired UCC minister ( that's a UCC sign in the window there) I am not saying we have no abuse ( know if a little church who left the denomination over the discovery of 4 decades of it because that the way it was and how dare THEY try to stop it.😧- firing the new pastor who reported it. And I also know of Conference staff fired for the same sexual abuse)
Hi Andrea, it is sad that any church has issues of abuse. Yet, we are all human and there are cases that happen. It is very sad. Fortunately, most chuches do not have issues like that happen often. Hopefully it will be something that more pastors and leaders will be taught how to handle, and they will be able to take care of the problem without retribution for doing so. Thanks for your comment.
