While forgiveness and reconciliation are central themes in the
church's proclamation of the gospel, superficial understandings
that separate them from justice and repentance have serious
consequences for Christian ministry to survivors and perpetrators
of abuse, and for the church's witness to wider society. This
theological and pastoral resource addresses specific challenges to
the church as it seeks to speak truthfully in the aftermath of
abuse, and provides material to help parishes and dioceses who find
themselves facing the complex realities of such issues. It explores
key questions: - What do we mean by 'abuse'? - What is distinctive
about abuse as a form of sin? - Is there a place for repentance by
churches? - How should the church speak of being forgiven and
forgiving? - Does the church have a ministry of reconciliation in
the aftermath of abuse? Designed to complement the Church of
England's extensive safeguarding practice guidance, this resource
provides guidance for all who preach, teach and exercise pastoral
ministry in the Church of England. It has been approved and
commended for study by the House of Bishops.
