Abstract

The author researched ways the Black Baptist church can help women rape victims rebuild their spiritual formation while processing Christian forgiveness. She contended that sexual violence victims need people who theologian Miroslav Volf describes as 'social agents' to assist them by using resources from within and beyond exclusive denominational and cultural communal boundaries. In this case study of five women's experiences and the discourse among Volf's critical companions, the researcher concluded that competent clergy, communal interaction, and welcomed survivor's participation are three critical elements in a Christian woman's, and her church's, journey toward spiritual reconciliation.
