058 - Religious Abuse and the Problem of Forgiveness
Listen now
Description
*Content advisory: sexual abuse, rape, and violence*
On this episode I speak with Anais Chartschenko about her experience of extreme abuse in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Her experience is tragic but not uncommon. In the second chapter I speak with Brian Peck and Gretchen Meader about the subject of forgiveness. Those of us who grew up in the church know that forgiveness is a central virtue. But post-Christianity, Christian appears much more sinister. Building on my conversation with Anais, I ask Gretchen and Brian to reflect on the subject of forgiveness from their personal experience and expertise as therapists.
