The Rising: Spirituality for Revolution


E13 #ChurchToo and the Limits of Redemption 2

January 12, 2018

The second in a two-part episode on #ChurchToo and the Limits of Redemption.

As women have revealed their experiences with sexual assault and sexual harrassment, #metoo has spawned the hashtag #churchtoo, where women and men are sharing stories of sexual abuse in their spiritual communities. Churches and other spiritual communities that promote values like community, connection, forgiveness, and reconciliation often leave the most vulnerable among us open to abuse.
