When popular Bible teacher and author Beth Moore was growing up, church was a safe harbor, a place where she could escape from sexual abuse at home.
“Still, I had a terrible secret and nowhere to take it,” Moore told hundreds of listeners at Wheaton College. “What if I’d heard my pastor or my teachers or any of my leaders address what I was going through, call it what it was, say that I wasn’t to blame and not to be ashamed?”
Moore was a featured speaker at a December 13 conference organized by the Billy Graham Center on sexual abuse and harassment.
