ONE IN FOUR WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA

WHO HAVE EVER BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP

HAVE EXPERIENCED VIOLENCE

CHRISTIANS ARE NOT EXEMPT!!



This web-site is an attempt to provide information to pastors and ministers about this terrible issue.

It is a sad fact that the family, which we believe to be essential to a solid, stable society, is often not the place of safety that it is meant to be. Christians are as prone to Domestic Violence as any other segment of society.

Unfortunately, many ministers and pastors are ignorant of the facts about DV. In fact many ministers unwittingly contribute to the problem by preaching in a way that can easily be construed as approving of violence in the home.

While some of the more liberal churches have developed resources on this issue, there is little available on the internet that pastors of evangelical or charismatic theology would find useful.

This site is an attempt to bridge that gap.

Please use this material in whatever ways you find helpful. Let's work to establish our churches as places of zero tolerance for DV.
