Upcoming Workshop
Come to the Mennonite Conference Center on Thursday, June 11 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. for the workshop Child Sexual Abuse: A Universal Approach to Prevention and Offender Management led by Michael Stinson, Director of Prevention Services at the Joseph J Peters Institute (JJPI). JJPI Prevention Services’ core program is built on a public health model aimed at providing communities and service providers the capacity to recognize the social and behavioral indicators that are present in situations that lead to, or end in, child sexual abuse. This program is designed to shift the primary responsibility of preventing child sexual abuse from children to adults. Within this discussion, we will address issues involving offenders in the community, community safety standards and concerns, and integrating convicted offenders back into a social and community context.

The opinions expressed in articles posted on Mosaic’s website are those of the author and may not reflect the official policy of Mosaic Conference. Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
