Protestant Clergy Sexual Misconduct and Intercultural Pastoral Care

Invisible Mask

Omschrijving

This volume examines the often-overlooked crisis of sexual misconduct within Korean Protestant churches, exploring how militarized culture, hierarchical power, and institutional silence contribute to the abuse of congregants—especially those in vulnerable situations. Through a blend of sociocultural, theological, and psychological analysis, the book goes beyond individual acts of transgression to reveal the systemic forces that perpetuate clergy sexual misconduct. By investigating the historical, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of abuse, the book offers a framework for reframing survivor-centered care and rethinking pastoral theology. It concludes with a call for transformative change in religious practice, urging greater transparency and more compassionate faith communities. Essential reading for scholars, students, and practitioners, this book provides critical insights into addressing sexual abuse within church settings and fostering ethical ministry. AHyun Lee is Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology, Care, and Psychotherapy at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois, USA. She is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and an ordained elder in full connection with the Wisconsin Conference of the United Methodist Church.
