We will introduce our ministry, give a brief overview of the challenges faced by adult survivors of child sexual abuse, and emphasize the fact that the Church has both the responsibility and the opportunity to offer essential spiritual support to survivors. There’s no catch and we are not selling anything; we just want to share information to help people who have been ignored for too long. The lunch will be at the Hot Stuff Restaurant, 244 Lafayette Street (right across the street from the conference hotel). There’s no charge, but space is limited so you must have a reservation. Reserve a seat today for yourself and for one guest by emailing [email protected]. Please be sure to include your name and your guest’s name.
