In most North American churches, you’ll find fire exits, extinguishers, and clearly marked safety protocols to address emergencies like fires. However, far fewer churches are equipped to handle a different kind of crisis—one involving serious allegations of abuse or misconduct.
If an accusation were made against a pastor, staff member, or volunteer in your church, would you know how to respond? Without a plan in place, your church faces not only legal risks but also the potential for moral and spiritual failure.
Veritas Solutions is proud to sponsor the release of Disabuse, a groundbreaking guide by Randal Rauser and Bob Stenhouse, designed to help churches confront these challenges head-on.
This indispensable resource provides churches with the tools to navigate abuse allegations through rigorous, legally defensible workplace investigations, all while fulfilling their moral obligation to protect and care for their communities.
Why This Book Matters
In an era of growing awareness around abuse within the Church, stories of disgraced leaders and shattered communities dominate headlines. These tragedies beg the critical question: How can the Church be made safe for all?
Disabuse equips church leaders, staff, and volunteers to foster a safe environment and respond effectively to abuse allegations.
What You’ll Learn from Disabuse:
- The different types of abuse and their warning signs.
- Three common profiles of abusers.
- Hallmarks of a culture that enables abuse.
- Points where the Church is most vulnerable.
- A detailed, step-by-step guide for conducting workplace investigations.
A Call to Action
Every church has both a legal and moral responsibility to prevent, detect, investigate, and eliminate abuse. By reading, you are taking an important step toward creating a safer, healthier Church for everyone.
Don’t wait until a crisis arises. Equip your church now with the knowledge and strategies needed to address these critical issues.
