Re: What are churches doing to stop predators in the church?

Glass doors and such may serve a purpose but I think the larger danger lies in the culture of cover up and down playing consequences as KrisKramer's experience has pointed out. Parents also need to educate children at a young age about appropriate touch...a close Groffdale friend and I discussed th...

Re: What are churches doing to stop predators in the church?

The Moravian Church as a whole seems to be pro-lgbtq and just a few board members may not have been. I do know one has stepped down from his position.
