“In 2015 the first national survey of adult survivors of clergy perpetrated sexual abuse was conducted (March-May 2015). 280 survivors participated in the study. We are so grateful to the courageous survivors who agreed to participate. This project was directed by David Pooler, Ph.D., LCSW. Below you will find a summary of some of the salient findings. 65% of survivors were married 88% of perpetrators were married Only 4% of perpetrators were prosecuted Only 8% Agree or Strongly Agree that their church supported them after the abuse occurred 8% Agree or Strongly Agree that the perpetrator apologized to them 50% Agree or Strongly Agree that their experience with the church after the abuse negatively affected their relationship with God 80% Agree or Strongly Agree that their experience with the church after the abuse negatively affected their spiritual life 7% Agree or Strongly Agree that their church had a policy in place to help support them 9% Agree or Strongly Agree the church was helpful when they reported the abuse 15% Agree or Strongly Agree that their church/denomination thoroughly investigated the report.” By the way, us wholesome hoes are queer-positive, body-positive, and trans-positive. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
