Dealing with Sexual abuse in the church

After years of being a member of SI, I am finally starting a thread. The above article is important for all of us, but especially those of us who are pastors. I have met and several conversations with the lady in the article. Her story is very tragic, and yet, she has still kept her faith. I know we have discussed this issue at length, but this article sheds light and I believe is an important one for us to discuss.
