ad vitam – Fall 2019: “Abuse in the Church: Between Crisis and Hope”

The Canadian Religious Conference is proud to launch its new publication, ad vitama webzine and a window into consecrated life in Canada.

Featuring articles and audiovisual contents, ad vitam proposes theological and pastoral reflections on the Catholic Church and consecrated life. This resource aims to serve religious communities and their leadership, as well as readers interested in consecrated life and Church issues.

 

Abuse in the Church:
Between Crisis and Hope

In this first issue, ad vitam dares to address the theme of sexual abuse in the Church. Far from being a topic to silence, it is beneficial to revisit the history of the Church on this subject, the causes of the crisis, the various resources, and to provide reflection on the future through insights into the Bible and restorative justice. This issue reminds us that speaking is the first step towards healing.
