Theology brings a life-giving perspective to safeguarding, identifying the abuse of any vulnerable person as an abuse of Christ himself. This work emphasizes authority as service, the agency of the child, and gives prominence to the voices of survivors and restorative processes.
Theology brings a certain life-giving perspective to safeguarding. Reappropriating a Christian vision of the human person, the author underlines the importance of relationality and human kinship. The abuse of any child or vulnerable person is identified as abuse of the person of Christ, himself! Practitioners of safeguarding will welcome the emphasis on authority as service, and the agency of the child. Church leaders are offered the possibility to delve more deeply into the grounding of the argument, within an understanding of Jesus as the eternal child of the Father. The interconnectedness of all forms of abuse is highlighted and linked to the abuse of the earth. The voices of survivors are given prominence and restorative processes indicated, while the synodal process is identified as providing skills for listening and deeper conversation. The child in our midst is one from whom we can all learn significant lessons.
