GRACE Safeguarding Seminar

Abuse is sadly a common reality in this world. As Christians we cannot stand up to abuse if we are in denial about the reality of abuse. Instead, Jesus calls us to be “wise as serpents” (Matthew 10:16). We all must take responsibility to become educated about abuse and support and care for those around us. CBCGB participated in the Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (GRACE) Safeguarding Initiative certification process that includes the all-congregation safeguarding training held in September 2024. We thank you for learning more and for committing to protecting the most vulnerable among us. 

虐待是這個世界普遍存在的可悲現實。身為基督徒，如果我們否認虐待的現實，我們就無法抵抗虐待。相反，耶穌呼籲我們要「靈巧如蛇」。 （太 10:16）我們所有人都必須承擔起有關虐待的知識，並承擔起責任。 波士頓郊區華人聖經教會參加了「基督徒環境中對虐待的虔誠回應」（GRACE）認證過程，這是我們2024 年9 月全會眾會議的5 個視頻錄像之一。我們感謝您了解更多並致力於保護我們中最脆弱的群體。
