Predator in the Pews “Jimmy”” joined the church a year ago. Before long, he volunteered to teach a Sunday School class and got to know eight–year–old “Peter.” Things started innocently. A hug at the end of class. Gifts for Peter. Lots of extra attention. And then it happened. Jimmy took advantage of Peter. Church, be on guard! Deepak Reju outlines why child predators target churches, how to protect children from this terrible evil, and how to respond in a way that helps young victims to recover if it does happen. Child abuse can happen anywhere, and we all need a plan for how to prevent and respond to it. What’s yours?
