My Nonprofit Reviews

It has been my privilege to be a peer support for The Hope of Survivors for the past year. As a survivor of clergy abuse myself, it would have been a wonderful help to me had it existed when I turned in my abuser, but that was before THOS existed. Being abused by clergy is like having your soul murdered. My late Pastor (not my abuser), the Reverend Professor Peter Gomes of Harvard Memorial Church called my perpetrator a "charlatan".
There aren't words to express how important support is during this time of discovery, recovery and healing from such a devastating experience that leaves you with PTSD. Many books have been written on the subject. However, the support, prayers and encouragement I received from others that God put in my life far surpassed the books I read.
THOS is a very needed and important ministry which I believe should always exist in this sin filled world where Satan would have his way as much as possible. God says NO, not on his watch. I volunteered to work with THOS as soon as I heard about them, and I highly recommend The Hope of Survivors to anyone needing help or wanting to educate themselves on clergy abuse.
