The Church's Hidden Sin
In this episode of Becoming Well, we have two very special guests: Dr. Dwight Perry and Dr. Elizabeth Pierre. We discuss their book, “Even the Best of Us: Clergy Sexual Failure—The Church’s Hidden Sin” as well as dive deeper into the implications of sexual abuse on accountability and leadership within the body of Christ. Dr. Perry and Dr. Pierre discuss their writing process as well as the convictions that led to creating this book.
