I believe God has much to say to CSA survivors. We have become modern-day lepers in religious organizations. God, however, wants to give us great comfort and let us know that He has not abandoned us. I believe He is working to begin to right our wrongs, and empower us to make change. Each of us has a voice! One voice may not be strong enough to pull the weight of our burden . . . but together we can bring hope and encouragement to each other, and invoke real change in our places of worship, as well as society on the whole!
