Guest Blog: Hope in the Research #7 https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/278 In this blog post, Rev. James Evinger highlights some recent research trends, including research in diverse religious communities and settings that have been underrepresented or ignored, evidence-based methodologies, and specific factors related to clergy abuse cases within the legal/justice system.
Since 1995, Rev. Evinger has reviewed materials and updated the Annotated Bibliography of Clergy Sexual Abuse and Sexual Boundary Violations in Religious Communities. This huge undertaking has provided an extraordinary resource for scholars and researchers, as well as those seeking to address the needs of survivors.

Dr. Marie M. Fortune: In this corona era, many local communities are reporting up to a 50% decrease in 911 calls in general but a 20% increase in domestic violence calls. There is no surprise here. When we first heard the news of orders to shelter in place, many of us immediately thought about what that would mean for women and children who are battered or sexually abused in their homes. Basically it meant being locked up with one’s abuser, having limited access to help from the outside, and limited opportunity to escape.No publishersbutlerChild AbuseSexual ViolenceDomestic ViolenceMultifaith2020-05-13T19:18:25ZBlog EntryMay 5 Tea Talk: Rev.

The House of Representatives passed H.R. 1585, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, on April 4, 2019. For the past four months, the bill, which requires Senate approval to be enacted, has been sitting with no advancement for a vote in the Senate.
This toolkit provides information and strategies for contacting your Senators to urge them to insist that the Senate pass H.R. 1585. The Congress is currently in recess in August, which makes this the perfect time to contact your Senators.No publishersbutlerCurrent EventsMultifaithViolence Against WomenDomestic ViolenceSexual Violence2019-10-01T18:15:37ZNews ItemSafe & Healthy Churches Training https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/news/safe-healthy-churches-training The Safe & Healthy Churches Training will take place in Norfolk, VA on September 27-28, 2019.

Southern Baptist leaders over the years have not only ignored sexual and domestic violence suffered by its members but many have actively excused and rationalized men’s violence towards women often with erroneous biblical proof texting.

Well, what I remember about Bathsheba was that she had tempted King David, causing him to sin. She was held up as the antithesis to Christian womanhood. I carried that notion until I was in seminary and read II Samuel for myself. The picture I saw there was very different.
One thing I noticed immediately was that in the text we never hear Bathsheba’s voice. We hear David’s voice; we even hear Bathsheba’s husband’s voice. But never her voice.

DeMille Award for Lifetime Achievement was received by Oprah Winfrey. In her response, Oprah “preached.” And I mean she really preached!
In her remarks, she called forth Recy Taylor, a young wife and mother on her way home from church who was kidnapped in 1944 in Alabama by 6 white men. Taylor was gang raped and left by the side of the road. She reported to the police who, even in the face of confessions from several of the men, never indicted anyone. She went to the NAACP for help and her case was assigned to an advocate, Rosa Parks. The NAACP proceeded to organize a national campaign in support of Mrs. Taylor to no avail.No publishersbutlerCurrent EventsViolence Against WomenSexual Violence2018-01-16T23:30:10ZBlog Entry
