PS: If you are a pastor attempting to cover those sins with layers and layers of lies, step out from the darkness of those sins. You will never find life in the shadows.

“There can be no healing without justice, and justice takes courage.”
The church must take responsibility to do everything it can to make healing possible.

Repentance involves acknowledging the full extent of one’s actions, deeply feeling the effects of these actions, confession, experiencing consequences and taking full
responsibility for both the actions and the effects.

Are you providing support to someone who has experienced abuse?
- Listen & treat them with respect & without judging
- A person who has experienced abuse may need to speak of the whole experience many times
Also, keep in mind that confidentiality is essential.

Cultural attitudes to gender-based violence began years ago. It’s not an issue that we can end overnight. I’m encouraged by the efforts of everyone fighting this fight in their own ways and arenas.- @BDakolo#HumanRightsDay#16DaysOfActivism#HerStoryOurStoryNG
There is nothing sacred about an institution full of hidden sin.
God wants those institutions that bear His name to be holy in the secret places. Only then are they truly His.

Anyone can be a victim of sexual assault, regardless of their tribe, gender or religion and we have a collective responsibility to address it. We can all unite under a common responsibility to speak up against attitudes, behaviours, traditions.#herstoryourstoryng#sarc
Sexual abuse by the pastor is a criminal act; it is not about struggling with difficult circumstances; it is not about a struggling marriage.
Such things must be called by their right names- the abuser needs to be held responsible for his abusive behavior.
