Save the Date Church Violence: Thinking Ahead Wednesday July 20, 7:00-9:30 pm Lancaster Mennonite Conference office 2160 Lincoln Hwy E., Lancaster, Pa. 17602 The MSNBC headline in 2015 read, "Charleston shooting part of long history of violence against churches."An earlier USA Today headline in 2013 was similar: "Churches boost security as violent incidents grow." With a string of tragedies over the last decade in church sanctuaries, cathedrals, and other locations of faith ministry, many faith-based organizations are offering educational resources to help reduce or prevent violence from occurring. Lancaster Mennonite Conference will offer a seminar on this troubling aspect of contemporary life to help churches think ahead to the unthinkable. Church Violence: Thinking Ahead will take place on Wednesday, July 20 at the Lancaster Mennonite Conference offices, 2160 Lincoln Highway East. The seminar, featuring law enforcement and church leaders, will convene at 7:00 pm and end by 9:30 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
Pastor Tracy Brown (retired State Police) will provide a peace church context for the presentation by Trooper Waleska Gonzales of the Pennsylvania State Police. Trooper Gonzales will provide practical suggestions to reduce threats and describe resources available to churches to increase personal and property safety. The approach of the evening will encourage thoughtful responses rather than fearful reactions. A Lancaster city policeman may also speak. A time for question and answer is scheduled for the evening.
Pastors, church board members, church trustees, and others interested in the subject are encouraged to attend. A small packet of printed resources will be available to attendees. Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP Joselyn Santiago (jsantiago@lancasterconference.org) to reserve a space for this seminar.
Schools, government offices, businesses, churches, and synagogues to name a few have experienced violence at their locations. Some reports suggest violence occurring at faith-based locations has increased over the last decade. As a result many places have responded with education, training, and security measures to increase the safety of the people on the premises. If you want to learn more about this subject, set aside the evening of July 20. Awareness & Training Making Church a Safe Place for All Volunteers in your congregations who have direct contact with children have until July 1, 2016 to be in compliance with the new Pennsylvania Child Protective Services Law of 2014. If your congregation needs help with this process contact the Conference office. We have tools available to help you make that transition and develop a child protection policy.
If your congregation has not taken steps to bring your credentialed leaders into compliance, please contact the LMC Office as soon as possible for assistance in understanding what must be done. December 31, 2015 was the date for all employees of organizations that have direct contact with children to be in compliance.
