Ask the Clergy
Q. What result or next step do you want to see come following the town hall held at St. Catherine’s on child sexual abuse by clergy and others within the Church?
A. My hope is that the people who attended the Town hall know that their concerns were heard and that they are being taken seriously. Since not every question could be answered in the time permitted, we need to address those questions. I am also hopeful that our people gain a better understanding of the Diocesan Safe Environment Policy (implemented in 2002) and will abide by it when serving in ministry or, in general, when around our children.
It takes a village to protect our children so if anything positive can come from this scourge in the church, then it will have to include the waking up of all of us to the potential dangers when we fail to love and protect our most vulnerable.
Let us prove our Christian love by being a little inconvenienced so that our children (and others) may be safe, happy and holy.
