Author: Gerard J. McGlone
January 1, 2003
This book, co-authored by Senior Research Fellow Rev. Gerard J. McGlone, S.J., is the first resource of its kind in response to The Charter for the Protection of Children and Youth, issued by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The charter calls, in part, for dioceses, schools, and parishes to establish "safe environment" programs. Creating Safe and Sacred Places provides information on procedures and strategies to promote a safe environment, including material for training parents, ministers, educators, and church personnel in identifying, preventing, and healing sexual abuse. Creating Safe and Sacred Places is published by St. Mary's Press and co-authored by Mary Shrader with Laurie Delgatto-Whitten.
