The Work Is Global https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/61 I don’t know how to work on anything but violence against women and children. I have no other skills. So it’s a good thing that I have a job where I get paid to do the one thing I know how to do.No publisherMMukaiSexual Abuse by Clergy2010-03-12T22:27:50ZBlog Entry“Let the children come to me and forbid them not . . . and let the healing begin.” https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/58 Through the eyes of three families, the documentary All God’s Children (70 minutes) www.alllgodschildrenthefilm.com tells the personal story of the first boarding school for children of missionaries to be investigated for abuse at the hands of the parents’ Protestant missionary colleagues.No publisherMMukaiChild AbuseSexual Abuse by Clergy2010-03-12T22:28:40ZBlog Entry"What About Torture?" https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/54 “Punching, flogging, assault and bodily attacks, hitting with the hand, kicking, ear pulling, hair pulling, head shaving, beating on the soles of the feet, burning, scalding, stabbing, severe beatings with or without clothes, being made to kneel and stand in fixed positions for lengthy periods, made to sleep outside overnight . . .”No publisherMMukaiCurrent EventsChild AbuseSexual Abuse by Clergy2010-03-12T22:34:55ZBlog Entry“I Have Such Doubts!” https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/52 The movie “Doubt” depicts the enormous complexity of the possibility of sexual abuse of a child by a Catholic priest. Fr. Flynn is portrayed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman as a likable, middle aged priest deeply engaged in the life of the parish and school. He is open and progressive and wants to lead the parish forward. No publisherMMukaiChild AbuseSexual Abuse by Clergy2010-03-12T22:45:11ZBlog Entry“. . . Better That a Millstone . . .” https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/50 There are times when the contradictions of life overtake me. I was flying home from the east coast last week and one of those times intruded. On the plane, I sat next to a mother and father and their two-year-old daughter; in front of them sat their five-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter. I was struck immediately by how thoughtful and respectful the parents were with the children and the siblings were with each other.No publisherMMukaiChild AbuseSexual Abuse by Clergy2010-03-12T22:45:22ZBlog Entry"It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/47 In baseball, there is an old saying about the game: "It ain't over 'til it's over." It's the reminder that you can't leave after the seventh inning and assume you know the outcome. As we have seen cases of sexual abuse by clergy emerge in recent years, it might be easy to assume that we have seen the worst of it. Yet the news continues to inform us of cases still waiting to be heard and justice still waiting to be experienced. It's definitely not over yet.No publisherMMukaiCurrent EventsSexual Abuse by Clergy2010-08-11T21:52:46ZBlog EntrySouthern Baptists: Yes, but . . . https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/36 “One sexual predator in our midst is one too many,” said Morris Chapman, president of the Southern Baptist Convention executive committee. “Sexual predators must be stopped.

Part 2 https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/32 Four teenage girls were molested by their youth pastor. When one teen finally disclosed, the senior pastor fired the youth pastor and reported him to the police. He was charged and prosecuted for sex with a minor. So far, so good.

In fact, he began the conversation with reporters on his plane enroute.

And there is some good news here. Ironically, “good news” and the Church don’t often appear in the same sentence these days. So I am always on the lookout for this occurrence.

Part 2 https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/25 So let’s assume for a minute that institutions like the church, when confronted with the disclosure of unethical behavior like sexual harassment or abuse, tend to act in their own best interests. On the surface, this is what I call the “institutional protection agenda.”No publisherMMukaiSexual Abuse by Clergy2010-06-18T19:42:14ZBlog EntryNo Harm, No Foul? Part 1 https://www.faithtrustinstitute.org/blog/marie-fortune/24 Why is professional misconduct wrong? Because someone gets hurt.
