Imagine someone from your congregation comes to you to tell you that their partner is hurting them, that they are scared to go home, that they aren’t sure what to do but they know that how they are being treated cannot continue. What feelings come up for you as you think about this scenario? What next steps, resources, and plans are you thinking about, or wishing you knew of? Lutheran Settlement House, a Philadelphia nonprofit that supports survivors of domestic violence, is joining our Summer Institute for Ministry to offer skills training, spiritual grounding, connection, and support to learn and deepen your ability to Create Sanctuary for survivors of domestic violence.
