Denial
When it's too hard to face
the repution of an institution is at risk
Churches, Private Schools , community groups sporting and cultural organisations etc
Were set up to be trustworthy places
their reputation is everything, particularl;y if it is an elete institution.
Historically allegations of sexual abuse
however victims should have justice
the vulnerable should be protected.
disclosure is now a legal requirement
and mostly internal protocols.
One of my objectives in writing these pages
is to assist menbers to find better ways of dealing with
the sence of betrayal
the failure of a trusted institution.
How do I do it?
I put obligations to God
and trust in God first.
and my concern for members safety.
My view is it is better to deal with it
and rebuilt the reputation over time
than to protect the repution
then find the reputation shredded over time.
