Session One asks the question “Will anyone Listen?” and takes as its inspiration Matthew 25:37-40.
In conversation through hurting, healing and hope
‘Listening with Love’ is a seven-session resource inviting people to reflect on the impact of abuse on individuals and the Church. The material is designed for use in small groups, with a leader and participants.
The survivors who generously offered their time to produce this resource, identified the themes and decided that, in conversations, the voice of the survivor could be heard. Therefore, using scripture and recorded conversations each session reflects upon the impact of abuse and the journey through hurting, healing and hope.
Session One asks the question “Will anyone Listen?” and takes as its inspiration Matthew 25:37-40.
