Hey Fletch … Do you have any articles concerning sexual abuse policies in the church?
DRF—Attorneys Gregory Love & Kimberlee Norris are some of the best people working on the subject of sexual abuse. They will also have a Sexual Abuse Summit in the fall. Good articles and polices on XPastor include:
- This article by Greg and Kim is a fantastic resource for you: Sexual Abuse Response Planning and MinistrySafe Institute Teaches about Sexual Abuse.
- Paul Utnage has written a great article, Survival Skills for Managing Moral Failures Among Your Leaders.
- I also like this article on Teaching Sensitive Topics Policy from Trinity Lutheran Church.
- Check out Josh Evans’ article on Boundaries for Youth Leaders.
- These Personnel Policies from Central Baptist Church of Hixon are good.
- This HR Manual from Seven Mile Road Church in Boston has material for you.
- Here is the Employee Handbook from Christ Community Church of Chicago.
This topic is of vital importance!
