I put together kind of a perfect storm factor list of attributes that are going on in an environment where children are being religiously harmed.
How can faith communities provide a nurturing environment for children while preventing harm? This episode of 'Spirit of Recovery' tackles this critical question. Hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas welcome Janet Heimlich, the founder of the Child-Friendly Faith Project. Janet is an award-winning journalist and the author of 'Breaking Their Will: Shedding Light on Religious Child Maltreatment'. Her work focuses on ensuring that religious and cultural teachings uplift rather than harm young minds.
Janet shares her insights on how faith communities can foster spiritual growth in children without the shadow of misuse of power. She discusses the importance of understanding child development and adopting practices that are truly child-friendly. The conversation also highlights the benefits of faith community collaboration and the Child-Friendly Faith Project's designation program. Listeners will hear poignant stories from survivors and learn practical ways to cultivate a nurturing spiritual life for both children and adults.
This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality, child development, and recovery. If you're looking to create a safe and supportive spiritual environment for the young ones in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
