Beloved,
The Church should be a place of welcome, safety and refuge for all God’s people. Unfortunately, we know that this has not always been the case even in our own beloved diocese. The time commitment that you are making to participate in the Safe Church program will, in fact, make our congregations and communities safer and will help you discern and take action to correct those times that something 'just doesn't seem right' when it comes to the safety of our children and adults.
Faithfully,
Standing Committee
