Description
Summary:The prevalence of clergy sexual misconduct and the damage it causes to individuals, congregations, and communities makes congregational and ministerial education on the subject critical. Education is especially needed by Baptists, who have no official code of conduct or mandated policies for clergy members and who have no hierarchical structures or systems that provide education for clergy members or churches. Baptists also lack a denomination-wide way of investigating violations or monitoring violators. Included in this article is a select list of helpful resources that address clergy sexual misconduct.
