What will we do there?

  • Explore the book: Preventing Sexual Abuse in Congregations: a Resource for Leaders (Alban publication by Karen McClintock; will be available for purchase)
  • Review current "policies that protect" children & youth, congregations, and the Church

Will you be registering new youth workers there?

No. This is the responsibility of the congregation (the pastor, the Christian education director or the camp/retreat/reunion director We will review the procedure so this can be completed back home

Should every congregation send someone to this training/information day?

Yes. Send someone who will then bring the message back to share with responsible people your congregation for appropriate follow-up and next steps.

What if I/we went last year?

We will review the policies (as we do each year) but we will address new topics, relevant and critical for your congregation, your children and youth workers. CEM staff and others will be present to answer questions and discuss new and important topics.
