Church role in domestic violence

The Church-what is the role of the DV?

We have achieved a level of the crisis in the work to combat domestic violence in our nation today. If this check box is selected, even at the very least you'll be more awareness, education and knowledge about the face of domestic violence.

One of the three women in the United States, sometime during her lifetime, be victimized by any form of domestic violence. This is 1 of 3, or a third of the women in this country. Is someone who Is in a ministerial capacity, as well as support works for raising awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault, I realize the Church just needs to be more educated on these pillars, characteristics and methods of combating these evils if husband sexual abuse assault and battery.

There are women who are beaten, almost on a daily basis, walk among us. They hide it well. Enough makeup will cover one eye and bruised neck. Long sleeves to hide the bruises, where it has grabbed and brutally shaken maybe. Unfortunately, there are some women who have physically beaten by Papers or crosses. What to do in these situations?

I'm in the process of the adoption of a programme [1], making use of the information and materials made available through my work with non-profit and other ministries, to add to my own testimony as a former victim-turned-survivors and now the prosecution for those who are still trapped working abuse and attack.

After all, there is not this what true religion is all about? No paper fist, pointing his finger or revictimization, but encourage, support and pure love of God-his hand extended.
