The study guide examines the lived experience of survivors of abuse and relates them to Our Calling. The guide includes:

·         case study material

·         some words of reflection

·         some questions.

The stories of survivors include their relationship with the local church and its impact on their lives. It also focuses on what the Church and individual churches could do better to:

·         support those who have been abused

Written from a survivor perspective, this study guide aims to enable church communities to understand more about the lived experience of survivors of church context abuse and to change the culture of the Church so as to ensure safe spaces for all.
