Sacred Spaces, Safe People
We are committed to being a safe church. As followers of Jesus, we believe that every person is made in God’s image. We want to create spaces where everyone knows they will be safe, especially from abuse of any kind.

Suggestion for sharing
We suggest that when hosting a group of people to watch this video you:
communicate at a high-level what the video is about before you share it.
identify a pastoral person who people can talk to if they need to after.
create a small break in the meeting or service to give people a chance to exit in a dignified way if they want to remove themselves or their children from the setting where this is shown. You could also say ‘if at some point you need to remove yourself, feel free to do that, that is ok’.
While we want everyone to engage with the message of this video, it may be better for some to engage with it in a non-communal setting, or parents may want to watch the video and then talk about it with their children. Nonetheless our hope is that everyone in our churches will engage with this content, so we encourage people to do that safely and mindful of those who are in the room.
