The Bible shows us that we live in a moral universe, because it is created by the holy God. Therefore, our actions matter, they have consequences and effect relationships. The doctrine of the Trinity tells us that relationship, and personal relationships are not incidental to reality, but are the heart of reality.

Breaking the Silence provides a framework for assistance, prevention and education, and allows us to respond appropriately where an allegation is made or an incident is reported.
