CLC’s Statement of Solidarity• We stand in solidarity with all victims of clergy sexual abuse.
• We are moved by compassion to reflect deeply on the suffering of our wounded brothers and sisters and to pray for them always.
• We make a commitment to educate ourselves and others about the devastating impact of this scandal in our church.
• We promise to promote justice and healing for victims and their families and for all those injured by this betrayal of our deepest values.
• We commit ourselves to the transformation of church structures and clerical culture that put protecting the institution above justice for victims and accountability for offenders.
• We rely on God in all of this, asking that we be sustained in this commitment we have made
