The essays in this volume share the fruits of those days spent reflecting on recent research on these challenging issues. The result is a hopeful resource in service to survivors and to those who minister with them through listening, giving voice, and bearing witness to the wounded body of Christ. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The challenges of addressing the range of problems caused by the abuse crisis are great, affecting the work of ministry in profound ways. From the training of future ministers--lay and ordained--to the exercise of the church's various ministries in parishes, education and direct service, the abuse crisis calls out for a response to the questions posed by abuse survivors and those who accompany and hope to serve them. Organized around three themes--accountability, healing, and trust--the contributors to this volume probe the deepest understanding of the church's mission and name the most significant divisions in the response to the sexual abuse crisis. By carefully listening to the words and wisdom of survivors, this volume focuses on ways forward and treats clergy, laypeople, scholars, and ministers as partners in the work of creating an atmosphere of accountability, healing, and trust in the post-abuse-revelation church. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors include: \u003cbr\u003e Melanie Susan Barrett \u003cbr\u003e Kimberly Hope Belcher \u003cbr\u003e Jennifer Beste \u003cbr\u003e Julia Canonico \u003cbr\u003e Peter Capretto \u003cbr\u003e David A.
