Seeking church member accounts/experiences
If you experienced domestic violence, workplace violence, rape or similar and have been a church member, I would like to learn whether or not the church community was supportive to you during crisis and recovering times. What unmet needs did you have, and where do you think the church could be more supportive? Seeking other church activists also to discuss this issue. E-mails can be posted here or to powerful1@ivillage.com Thank You!

Unsent letter to Jim
I cant send this letter but it sure felt great to write it!
Jim,
I've wanted you to know what you have done to me and my life so i am writing this letter I will never send.
When we first met 5 years ago, you gave me great gifts. You made me feel connected and capable and cared for when I had missed that for so long. I became someone I was proud to be and I was proud to be with you, too.
