Safe Church Training in Maine

https://episcopalmaine.org/resources/safe-church-training/

The Episcopal Diocese of Maine is committed to the prevention of abuse of all forms. We want to help the church to be a safe place for all who worship, or minister, or come in any sort of need, including children, youth, and those who work with them. We believe that this policy is one aspect of honoring our baptismal vows to “respect the dignity of every human being.”
