Wholeness After Betrayal
$23.95
Focuses on healing and reconciliation for congregations that have experienced
physical, sexual, emotional, spiritual, and financial misconduct or betrayal by a leader
* Explores the unintended consequences of “moving on” after misconduct without fully
going through a process toward healing
* Includes charts, checklists, and outlines to aid in the process of congregational
healing
In the wake of misconduct by trusted clergy and lay leaders, members of congregations
find themselves adrift. Often there are deep divisions within the church and open, direct,
honest communication ceases. Wholeness After Betrayal offers an understanding of
these dynamics and a process to help members take the first steps toward reconciling
relationships with one another.
This specialized instruction is tested and proven, having been used effectively many times
in a variety of congregational settings. It holds tremendous value for institutional healing,
both immediately following misconduct or even decades later.
For professionals serving dioceses, conferences, synods, and churches; those serving
in any capacity with a disciplinary process; advocates; church communicators, media
spokespersons; affected congregants; victims, and people who work in crisis intervention
in communities of faith.
