Free Online Workshop
Have you been sitting around with friends or colleagues or fellow parishioners trying to grapple with having a Christian response to abuse by clergy or others in the Church? You likely need a primer on the status of reforms, safeguarding basics, and possible responses. Check out Spirit Fire's free online workshops which are customized to your group.
A Relational Approach
Spirit Fire works in tandem with safeguarding programs and therapeutic protocols, amplifying their success by fostering relational healing and recovery. Its work embodies and cultivates healing and recovery person-to-person, heart-to-heart. It teaches from its work walking through the impact from abuse in the Catholic Church with survivors, their family members, parishes, clergy and religious, lay ministries, and leaders. Spirit Fire basic guidelines include nonalignment and inclusive policies to ensure that debate about other issues, however important, cannot impede healing and where the hurt cuts deepest in our Church.
