Description:
When prevention fails and a faith leader violates the boundaries of a pastoral or teaching relationship, it is critical that a judicatory or organization have a policy in place to respond and then use that process appropriately. This training will focus on a clear understanding of what clergy misconduct is, what boundary violations are, and what are the appropriate aspects of response to a complaint including investigation, adjudication, and possible actions of discipline or exoneration. We will provide a theological foundation for this process and emphasize a supportive response to complainants, respondents and congregations.
Learning Objectives:
- Prepare judicatory leaders to respond to misconduct by clergy and spiritual leaders.
- Expand the biblical and theological foundations for an appropriate response to clergy misconduct.
- Review the importance of an awareness of power and vulnerability within pastoral/teaching relationships.
- Look critically at policy and procedure issues including investigation and adjudication.
- Address legal concerns.
- Address communication concerns post-disclosure of abuse.
