As #MeToo and its sister movement #ChurchToo demonstrated, sexual
violence is systemic in many and varied workplace settings,
including Christian churches, and can destroy women's careers and
vocational aspirations. The study draws on empirical evidence -
personal stories from survivors and the views of church leaders and
educators - in dialogue with theoretical perspectives, to consider
clergy sexual abuse of adult women and the conditions that support
it. Institutional abuse only changes when survivors come forward.
This study focusses on New Zealand Anglicanism, the locus of the
author's experience, and has resonance for a range of
denominational settings. It aims to be a useful resource to clergy,
ministry educators, and those training for ministry, and to
academics and scholars with an interest in theology, gender, and
professional ethics. Notably, it will be a potentially helpful text
for women survivors of sexual misconduct by clergy, not least those
who are considering a future in the church or grieving the loss of
one. The volume concludes by suggesting that alternative
theological models and relational ethics are essential if the
church is to truly address the problem of clergy sexual abuse and
give greater priority to the abused.
