As Lambs To The Slaughter

How rampant is clergy immorality today? Is there a predator in the pulpit of your church? How would you know? And how would you heal if you have been one of the lambs led to moral slaughter by a pastor you trusted?

Rev. Anne Barber takes an in-depth look at a difficult subject for Christians to talk about. Since the first Christian flocks were formed, the cause of Christ has been hurt by predatory shepherds. Much media attention is given to the fallen pastor when his sins are exposed, but what becomes of the sheep that he seduced and morally abused? Pastor Anne offers words of compassion, understanding and healing to help these sheep regain a sense of self value and trust in God. .
