Respecting the Dignity of All: Updated Policies for the Protection of Children, Youth & Vulnerable Adults
This engaging and interactive workshop will focus on content and implementation of the Model PolicIes for the Protection of Children, Youth & Vulnerable Adults that went into effect throughout The Episcopal Church (TEC) in January 2019. The Model Policies address social media, mission trips, pilgrimages, camp and conference center programs as well as the experiences of LGBTQ individuals. They are grounded in theology and are the foundation for newly envisioned safe church training. For our love to be liberating and life-giving, all members of TEC must know how to prevent, identify and respond when others have been violated—this is the focus of the model policies and the training that will be developed during this triennium.
