Annotated Bibliography of Clergy Sexual Abuse

The phenomenon of sexual abuse as committed by persons in
fiduciary relationships is widespread among helping professions.
This bibliography is oriented to several specific contexts in which
this occurs. The first is the religious community, particularly
Christian churches, and particularly in the U.S.A. This is the
setting of occurrence that I best know and understand. The second
context is the role of clergy, a religious vocation and culture to
which I belong. While the preponderance of sources cited in this
bibliography reflects those two settings, the intent is to be as
comprehensive as possible about sexual boundary violations within
the religious community.
While the bibliography focuses on the position and role of
clergy, the concept of sexual boundary violation by one in a
religious role is applied here to include other positions that also
involve fiduciary trust and power derived from a sanctioning
religious community, e.g. a missionary, youth worker, or woman
religious.
