Anabaptist Awareness Symposium on Sexual Abuse
November 15-16, 2019 Ephrata, PA.
“Let the little children come unto me” — Jesus
Our Statement regarding Christian Aid Ministries and Sexual Abuse
We are often asked about the situation involving Christian Aid Ministries, and the sexual abuse perpetrated by one of their missionaries. Our hearts are certainly grieved as we hear the stories of the victims and the missionaries involved. We as conservative Anabaptists acknowledge that we have often failed to protect the vulnerable among us. In response, we have decided to post a well-written article which was published in the SWORD AND TRUMPET. We post it with their permission. – Anabaptist Awareness
