Faith communities have always been institutions for refuge and restoration. In addition to a source of spiritual guidance, they may serve to help us heal from the long-standing harms we face. As our understanding of sexual, racial, and generational trauma expands, we must consider the role of the Church as a sanctuary where healing and wholeness can take root.
With our churches, our communities, and our loved ones – or even ourselves – affected, there is much to learn about how trauma impacts us, and how we can start to heal from it.
