Inter-Faith Leadership Advisory Committee

Mission:

We state clearly, strongly, and unequivocally...

  • That Inter-personal Violence, inside or outside the home is NEVER justified
  • This violence in any form – "physical, sexual, emotional, financial, psychological, spiritual or verbal" – is sinful; often it is a crime as well

As Communities of Faith, our mandate is to...

  • prevent, address, and respond to abuse,
  • minimize roadblocks facing abused members and their families in our faith communities with justice, compassion and accountability, as well as
  • maximize the resources that exist within our faith traditions
