Faith Under Fire – Helping Churches Deal with Allegations – 03/02/23

An allegation of misconduct can veer a ministry into a stressful season. If a congregation discover news that sexual harassment or abuse of a child or teen may have happened, what should the leaders do first — and next.

Theresa Sidebotham is a Christian attorney and consultant who assists churches and businesses which must deal properly with such allegations. In addition to staying within the legal and organizational mandates, Sidebotham tells Family Life News that such occasions, whether the allegation turns out to be true or not, give Christian leaders the unique opportunity to demonstrate God’s redemptive power, as they seek the righteous approach to care for people.

During this week’s Faith Under Fire, Sidebotham also shares what she sees as good news — that the incidents of abuse within Christian ministries are somewhat less frequent, as public awareness has increased.

Obviously, prevention is important, and congregations and denominations do well to have workable policies and adequate screening of staff, clergy and volunteers.

She also is author of a guide for church leaders on dealing with allegations of misconduct, Handling Allegations in a Ministry.

It started small, with a simple chapel message to a smallish handful of students about love.

It grew to one of the biggest spiritual revivals in America in a generation.

As Asbury University in Kentucky makes plans to wind down the revival there, we wondered what it was like to be an established congregation, within walking distance of an event which made national news, as many experienced a powerful awareness of how God’s Spirit was moving. The pastor of the nearby Wilmore United Methodist congregation was at Asbury for the early days as a prayer counselor. That congregation, and others in the neighborhood, became overflow gathering places as people all ages converged on the “Asbury Awakening”.Wilmore UMC

Listen to Greg Gillispie’s conversation this week with the Rev. D. Merricks about his personal experiences, and how the university and the community can use this revival event as a springboard toward connections with a generation with a great spiritual hunger and curiosity.

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word “Angels.” Probably some girl with long blond hair and a white dress complete with a halo and wings right? You can imagine Artie’s reaction when he finds out he has to play one for the Christmas play at church. But what if that’s not how angels actually look? (Daniel 10, Joshua 5, Luke 2, and Mathew 28, Isaiah 6, Ezekiel 1, and Hebrews 13:2)
