For anyone engaged in pastoral theology or church leadership, this supportive book shows how churches can change behaviour towards adult survivors of sexual abuse to foster more healing communities and help survivors on their way to health and wholeness. Based on real life experiences, the successful case studies offered provide hope and guidance.
Foreword - Christopher Cook; 1. Introduction; 2. The Scapegoat; 3. Mad, Bad or Possessed; 4. No Condemnation; 5. Renewal; 6. Possession; 7. Vindication in Practice; 8. Towards a New Creation
Dr Beaumont delivers a powerful call for change. While churches continue to protect their reputation for righteousness-framing survivors as 'problematic'-the damage of abuse is compounded. Her uplifting vision for Gospel communities that vindicate rather than scapegoat is modelled on God ""who never comes against us"". Love in action.
