THE JOINT Churches Domestic Violence Prevention Project (JCDVPP) celebrates 20 years with the launch of a revised booklet to liberate women locked in violent relationships.
It coincides with 20 years work breaking the silence.
Questions Women Ask about Domestic Violence and Christian Belief will be launched at Indooroopilly Uniting Church on 9 August by Dr Lynne Baker, a lecturer, counsellor and author who did her PHD on coping strategies employed by Christian
women experiencing domestic violence.
The launch will also be a celebration of 20 years since the commencement of the Joint Churches Domestic Violence Prevention Project, a commission of Queensland Churches Together.
This small band of committed Christians is determined that the church not be silent on this issue and that victims of violence in the home will be freed to live life in abundance.
Some of the outcomes have been breaking the silence in churches with the distribution of information and resources.
The emphasis has been on educating the churches to be the activators of liberation that Jesus meant us to be.
