After Tamra shared her story, she helpfully articulated some of the characteristics of clergy sexual abuse and how it might also be called clergy-perpetrated sexual abuse of adults, clergy abuse, pastoral abuse, or clergy sexual misconduct. Today, Tamra and I will look at God’s redemptive thread throughout her circumstances. She certainly didn’t see God’s plans while she was living through the abuse. But today we can look back—perhaps even reframe her story in His Story—and see how she learned more about God’s care for the oppressed through her difficult experience. For anyone concerned about Adult Clergy Sexual Abuse and looking for more information, go to the Clergy Sexual Misconduct website. For those who believe they may be directly impacted by ACSA, or even those who may be indirectly affected, this website will bring clarity to this type of abuse and help for finding freedom and healing. Contributor 3:Further information regarding Dr. Brooks can be found on his website, Courage Christian Counseling.
