| Notes | Reading about violence against women and walking with survivors can be a desert experience. The world can seem heartless and cruel. Yet we believe in a God that is revealed most particularly in desert places. Seeing the strength of survivors as they make new lives for themselves is like seeing water bubble up, miraculously, out of the dry ground. WICC presents this revised handbook as a way to encourage awareness and action in congregations. It is designed to be useful for individauls and groups. Through story, reflection and educational resources, Healing Waters hopes to lead to change. Every anonymous victim of violence who worships should hear over and over again about the intimate, delicious kindness and goodness of God.
Includes facts, stories, Bible studies, worship suggestions, resource list, advice on planning workshops, and more. |
