God creating the universe with just a breath, and then light. A breath that clarifies thought, leading to understanding. The breath that pulses through the universe, inhabiting every person and everything—uniting us.
“I…can’t…breathe.”
This is the reality of where we are. And who we are. Our culture creates this violence, and supports it.No publishersbutlerCurrent Events2022-08-23T16:27:07ZBlog EntryNetwork: Annual BISC-MI Conference (Nov 20-22) https://faithtrustinstitute.org/news/network-annual-bisc-mi-conference-nov-20-22 The annual international Battering Intervention Conference is taking place in Ann Arbor on November 20-22.

The House of Representatives passed H.R. 1585, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, on April 4, 2019. For the past four months, the bill, which requires Senate approval to be enacted, has been sitting with no advancement for a vote in the Senate.
This toolkit provides information and strategies for contacting your Senators to urge them to insist that the Senate pass H.R. 1585. The Congress is currently in recess in August, which makes this the perfect time to contact your Senators.No publishersbutlerCurrent EventsMultifaithViolence Against WomenDomestic ViolenceSexual Violence2019-10-01T18:15:37ZNews ItemCall for Abstracts: Crisis and Challenge in the Roman Catholic Church https://faithtrustinstitute.org/news/call-for-abstracts-crisis-and-challenge-in-the-roman-catholic-church Please consider joining a new book project: Crisis and Challenge in the Roman Catholic Church: Perspectives on Decline and Reformation Edited by Debra Meyers and Mary Sue Barnett.

Thousands of children. A powerful institution. Decades of harm and betrayal.
It’s been almost twenty years since the first public acknowledgement of child sexual abuse by Catholic priests in the United States. In the years that followed, we’ve seen similar stories come to light from all around the world.
We are grateful for the painful work of the members of the Grand Jury. The two years they spent working on this investigation has shaken the faith community to its core, but it has also vindicated the thousands of victims who have been silenced, ignored, and left to suffer with deep wounds—psychological, physical, as well as spiritual.No publishersbutlerCurrent EventsChild AbuseSexual Abuse by Clergy2018-10-10T20:51:33ZNews ItemNetwork: Annual BISC-MI Conference (Nov 14-16) https://faithtrustinstitute.org/news/network-annual-bisc-mi-conference-nov-14-16 A Groundbreaking International Conference to explore and examine the impact of religion/faith/spirituality on battering intervention practice and programs!
