Abstract

This project explores the experience of one congregation as a secondary victim of sexual misconduct by clergy, describing the problem, providing a systems analysis and history of the congregation, analyzing leadership styles, and presenting a curriculum proposal for the congregation's resurrection. These studies show that resurrection of such a congregation depends on clear understanding of healthy leadership models, appropriate boundaries and expectations for leaders, and open methods of decision-making, conflict resolution, and communication. When these priorities are in place the congregation can experience a renewed sense of mission, a restored financial base, and incorporation of new members.
