Description

This project’s author asks this question: Can a low risk sex offender clergy and lay leader enter the community of faith in an environment of Theological Integrity? Theological Integrity will include protection of the vulnerable, justice for the vulnerable, compassion, forgiveness, and hope. The acceptance by the community of faith will start with the faith that this process will bring about healing and wholeness for all involved. This book is an investigation into the possibility of integrating a convicted sex offender back into the religious Christian community.
