A severe storm (or fire) rocks your community–and your church facilities. You walk around the buildings to inspect the damage and see that a couple of shingles have fallen. There is also a water stain on the ceiling in the kitchen, indicating possible damage to the roof. You think to yourself that maybe this is something that can be easily repaired—a couple of shingles nailed down, a little roof sealant around the flashing, that kind of thing. Maybe you think that this is something you can even do yourself to save some money.

When you hear the words “sexual harassment,” do you ever think of places that are supposed to be safe havens? Have you considered that harassment could occur in your own church, or has already occurred in your own church? Harassment is a pattern of behavior that makes another person feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Perpetrators of harassment can be anywhere. They may be in staff or volunteer positions or just be members of the congregation. Harassment in the church could occur in the workplace or in a social setting.
