As we grow in our ability to identify abuse in the church, are we in danger of overcorrection? Might we see abuse where it is not?
Overcorrection may be a problem, but John Alexander, a counselor and previous pastor, believes that the bigger problem is the ongoing hiding or ignoring abuse when it really is present.
“We protect against overcorrection by talking about abuse. This is the whole point of the resource Becoming a Refuge, to prompt these very discussions. Not to find abuse around every corner, but to train us to identify what it is and what it is not.”
Becoming a Refuge is self-paced video series equipping churches to see rightly, name precisely, and act wisely in situations of abuse.
