A Denominational Executive

    AEPPP has been very helpful to our judicatory in a great variety of ways. As judicatory executive, I have found consultation with AEPPP staff to be valuable in sorting through issues surrounding both current clergy misconduct as well as the aftermath of past behavior in congregations, as well as considering options for dealing with situations and designing interventions.  AEPPP has also trained our Response Teams to work with victims, accused and congregations when complaints have surfaced and has been retained to provide 
preventative training for all clergy as well.

    I am grateful that in every contact there is experience to draw on. AEPPP staff demonstrate understanding of the dynamics that occur for all parties, careful attention to process as well as theological reflectivness on how our faith connects with these matters.

    AEPPP has been a valuable resource for us in the past two years

Comments from Clergy

"Excellent program, clearly well thought through and carefully prepared.  Thank you"

"Helpful and thoughtful workshop. I came dreading, I left encouraged and feeling more strongly (about) resources to address issues in the parish and in my own evaluation of boundaries."

"Well presented, gives one guidelines (for) one's psychological, physical and spiritual life and boundaries."

"I was mad, angered, outraged, comforted, enlightened and hopeful.  I'd say pretty good for a four-hour workshop.  Thank you."

"Very worthwhile.  I have attended two other workshops on this topic and this one far surpassed them!  Thank you."
