MAKE ALL RELIGIONS SAFE

I /We hereby call on all the religions to dismiss all ministers or other religious group workers who have carnally abused children or committed similar offences.
Society has been looking up to the Churches for centuries to set a high standard, and we are scandalised to find that many Church leaders have continued employing people who have sexually abused minors.
