Book Synopsis Abigail's Veil by : Carolyn Thompson
Download or read book Abigail's Veil written by Carolyn Thompson and published by Abigail's Veil Ministry. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abigail's Veil is a resource for clergy and church leaders needing to address the issue of domestic violence. The author provides a combination of legal and biblical references to assist pastoral care ministries in combating abuse within their congregations. The importance of dispelling the myths, exposing the traditions and highlighting the stigmas of domestic violence are demonstrated by this former attorney's experience with clients suffering in abusive relationships. Abigail's Veil was inspired by the marital relationship of Abigail and Nabal in the Bible (1 Samuel 25:1-42). In this passage, Abigail represents a victim living with an abusive and controlling husband. From "appearances," she had everything as the wife of a very rich and powerful man. But her husband was "brutal and evil in all his ways"(verse 3). As is the case for so many women living with an abusive partner, she wore a VEIL of secrecy and shame to hide the physical, financial and emotional abuse perpetrated against her. The VEIL serves as a dual barrier for the victim attending our churches. Underneath it, the victim hides the truth about her home's private hell of fear and isolation. Alternately, she uses the veil as a shield of protection from those who would blame her instead of the abuser; from those who would re-victimize her with the misuse or selective use of scripture; and worse yet, - from those who would render enabling silence from the pulpit. Until the entire church body adopts the "Zero Tolerance" stance and commitment to "Safety First" in pastoral care ministry, the ABIGAILS attending our churches will remain under the VEIL. Abigail's Veil is a resource for clergy and church leaders to use in challenging the religious traditions that hold victims captive in abusive relationships and aids them in securing their freedom and healing. Minister Carolyn J. Thompson is a former attorney who now presides as a judge and serves as an ordained minister. Her recollection of numerous cases and sessions of pastoral care involving domestic violence demonstrates the importance of the church's role in combating domestic violence.

Book Synopsis Becoming a Church that Cares Well for the Abused by : Brad Hambrick
Download or read book Becoming a Church that Cares Well for the Abused written by Brad Hambrick and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is your church prepared to care for individuals who have experienced various forms of abuse? As we continue to learn of more individuals experiencing sexual abuse, domestic violence, and other forms of abuse, it’s clear that resources are needed to help ministries and leaders care for these individuals with love, support, and in cooperation with civil authorities. This handbook seeks to help the church take a significant step forward in its care for those who have been abused. Working in tandem with the Church Cares resources and videos, this handbook brings together leading evangelical trauma counselors, victim advocates, social workers, attorneys, batterer interventionists, and survivors to equip pastors and ministry leaders for the appropriate initial responses to a variety of abuse scenarios in churches, schools, or ministries. Though the most comprehensive training is experienced by using this handbook and the videos together, readers who may be unable to access the videos can use this handbook as a stand-alone resource.

Book Synopsis Responding to Abuse in Christian Homes by : Nancy Nason-Clark
Download or read book Responding to Abuse in Christian Homes written by Nancy Nason-Clark and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-03-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic abuse is a horror. It lurks beneath the surface of our collective existence, sometimes raising its ugly head where least expected-in the church or within families of faith. Are we-individually or collectively-ready to respond? What can, or should, congregations and their pastoral leaders do? And, as we survey the Christian landscape across the United States and Canada, are we as the community of faith stepping up to the challenge presented by violence in the family? There is no easy answer to the problems that surface when abuse impacts the Christian family. But each of the authors contributing to this volume believes fervently that it is imperative that followers of Jesus and their spiritual shepherds respond to the cries for help. To respond well necessitates both knowledge and a willingness to act. This book is here to help. It represents a collective effort to bring all of us a step farther in our journey of walking with Christ over a sea of troubled waters. None of us know as much as we should, but all of us can learn from one another. Throughout the collection we provide an opportunity to examine a diversity of perspectives, with the hope that each will in some way advance our understanding of the complexity of domestic violence issues in our midst-within our churches and the communities where our churches minister.

Book Synopsis Women, Why Are You Weeping? by : Frank S. Morris Ph.D.
Download or read book Women, Why Are You Weeping? written by Frank S. Morris Ph.D. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian husbands are cursing, choking, punching, beating, kicking, and in some instances, using weapons to assault their wives. Women, Why Are You Weeping? describes how trust is broken and collusive alliances are formed whenever the church chooses to not get involved in family violence issues. When juxtaposed to Mary Magdalene’s traumatic discovery at the tomb that caused her to cry—“they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him”—this writing offers insight into ways Christ is poorly embodied when he is portrayed as complicitous in our unjust acts. Women, Why Are You Weeping? is an appropriate inquiry into the depth of disappointments our fellow heirs of the grace of life undergo. This question only appears twice in Scripture. In both instances, it is posed by divine beings looking into the affairs of mankind. Policy and practical change will occur when the church views the violence as a concern of all God’s people, particularly clergy. If the unredeemed can be there to listen to and comfort victims and have invested the money and time needed to give the victim/survivors the encouragement and hope they so desperately seek, how can the redeemed do less?
