Safe Church Manual
Download the Safe Church Manual [updated 4-27-07]
The Diocese of Pennsylvania and the Episcopal Church recognize the potential for harm when a priest, lay employee or volunteer engage in sexual exploitation, harassment or abuse in one of our churches or institutions.
Thus, we, like most Episcopal dioceses, have produced a manual which includes suggestions for safe ways of interacting with children, youth and adults, ways that respect the dignity of the other.
Also included are diocesan policies intended to keep the church a safe place, and appendices with sample forms for reference and background checking when hiring a church employee or engaging a volunteer.
The title of the manual is "Keeping God's People Safe". On the cover is a picture of red doors, a symbol that inside is a safe place, a place of sanctuary. It speaks to our commitment to keeping our churches places of safety and respect for all who come through our doors.
