Unlawful Harassment Policies for Churches

Unlawful Harassment Policies for Churches…Our churches have a sacred responsibility to care for all persons. An important aspect of that care is the adoption by the Vestry of appropriate policies regarding sexual and other unlawful harassment. This session will present, consideration, adaptation, and implementation by Rector and Vestry, a sample policy for the protection of God’s people that honors our biblical convictions and safeguards religious liberty.
