We
are a diverse group of people who are concerned about
the issues of domestic violence in families and in all
human relationships and the response of the Black Church.
We believe in the Church's mission to improve the quality
of life and recognize the linkages of violence to all
social problems in the history of Black communities.
Therefore, we stand against violence in all its guises
including physical, sexual, psychological, spiritual,
emotional and economic abuse. |
To
that end, we develop partnerships and collaborations to
provide educational, spiritual and technical support as
well as advocacy and leadership development: to enhance
the capacity of the church to empower and protect the
victims of domestic violence; to hold abusers accountable;
to promote healing and wholeness in African-American communities.
The National
Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE.
If you need immediate assistance, dial 911.
