Bishop's Committee on Clergy Sexual Ethics

€

The Bishop's Committee on Sexual Ethics envisions making all churches safe sanctuaries for the proclaiming and living out of God's gracious, redeeming love for all humankind.€ Further, we seek to make this sanctuary a place of healing.€ Sadly, we know that sexual abuse is present in the world and therefore is sometimes present in the Church.€ The€Bishop's Committee on Sexual Ethics was created for the purpose of preventing the tragic occurrence of clergy sexual misconduct and of promoting healing if it has occurred.

€

The Bishop's Committee on Sexual Ethics€is accountable€to the Bishop of the North Texas Conference.

€

The work of the Bishop's Committee on Sexual Ethics is organized in three areas of focus:

Our Educational Work -- Seeking to prevent unwanted sexual advances by educating clergy and laity on the conference policies on misconduct and harassment.
Our Advocacy Work -- Recruiting, training and equipping Resource Persons; the first line of help for aggrieved persons.
Our Healing Work -- Sending a response team to€help acongregation€heal€after a pastor has been removed.

The education and advocacy work of the committee are done by a variety of people under Alice Zaccarello's guidance.

€

The healing work is coordinated by Carole Carsey.€
