Quote of the Day

The greatest failure of the church/Christian organizations when it comes to responding to abuse is institutional self-protection.  Too often Christian institutions have been willing to sacrifice the individual human soul in exchange for the protection of their own reputation.  What makes such responses even more heinous is that they are often justified in the name of "protecting the name of Christ."  Such a justification is nothing but a pious attempt at self-protection.
