Educational Videos: Red Flags in Religious Life
Becoming a religious sister might and should be a wonderful, enriching experience. Spiritual growth, community life, theological formation and joy of sharing your talents with others - all this is waiting for those who respond with generosity to God's call. There are, however, multiple situations and factors that expose religious women to vulnerability or even abuse. It is of utmost importance that women know their rights in the process and understand what is a legitimate theological discourse and where spiritual abuse could start. Our eight educational videos will help you stay informed.
Voices of Faith thanks theologian consultants, Dr. Rocio Figueroa and Dr. Doris Reisinger for the content and highly professional advice during the preparation of these videos.
The videos are available in different languages. You can find all languages here.
