enditnow® is a global initiative to raise awareness and advocate for the end of violence around the world. It aims to mobilize Seventh-day Adventists around the world and invites other community groups to join in to resolve this worldwide issue.
This initiative, which extends to more than 200 countries and territories, was launched in October 2009 in partnership between the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA)-a prominent humanitarian organization-and the Department of Women’s Ministries of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, two entities that are representative of the Adventist Church.
enditnow is the most important stand the Seventh-day Adventist Church has ever taken regarding violence against men, women and children.
*This enditnow® resource packet comes to us from North American Division Women’s Ministries. While many of the statistics and information are specific to the North America, much of it holds true in Australia as well.
If you or someone you know is a victim, help is available. AdSafe Ltd is a service of the Seventh-day Adventist Church committed to maintaining safe environments within the church and facilitating healing and justice pathways for victims of abuse.
AdSafe’s Survivor Services team provides care and support, and creates a safe environment where survivors can share their stories and be empowered to seek justice. www.adsafe.org.au
Other options for help.
Abuse of power is an issue that’s infrequently spoken about in our church and difficult to address. Adventist Women Australia will be hosting a National Online Summit for enditnow on Friday, August 26 at 7:30pm. Learn how we can make a difference, raise awareness and be the voice of the voiceless.
Guest speaker: PROFESSOR. INGRID SLIKKERS
Assistant Professor of Social Work and Exec Director of the International Center for Trauma Education and Care at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, USA.
To join, follow the “Online Summit” link tand click “Going“. Updated will be posted on that Facebook event page.
How do those in power and leadership relate to church members? Many members have had painful experiences that they may have never spoken about but that nonetheless need to be addressed. This is a sensitive topic, and we ask that in all we do and say we do not make general statements about all people in power since this does not apply to all, only to some.
