Clergy Sexual Abuse:  Church of Hate by Frances Park

Sometimes it is difficult to find words which adequately express the deep pain, inner confusion and turmoil, and sense of betrayal and isolation of those who have been sexually exploited or abused.   This is a place to share artistic expressions of the heart, not only of the pain, but of the struggles, and victories in overcoming abuse.  Each victim is on a journey, a sometimes very difficult journey, out of being a "victim" to a "survivor" to a "thriver".
