- Abstract
- Deployment of a theologically grounded response team is essential for healing United Methodist congregations who have experienced clergy sexual misconduct. The author studied the United Methodist response to clergy sexual misconduct by reviewing denominational and conference policies, and surveying and interviewing response team conveners. This research identified inconsistent conference policies and response, no theology of intervention, passionate response team commitment to healing, and evidence of healing following congregational intervention. The study concludes with a theology of intervention based on Paul's Corinthian ministry, best practices to promote healing in congregations, and recommendations for future action.
