Report on abuse in Ireland

The Church in Ireland will now have to deal with the fallout of a report arising from the investigations of abuse of children in church-run reform schools. The victims now range in age from their 50' to their 80's and offer consistent stories of physical and sexual abuse. Story here.
We can only offer our prayers for the victims and our hope that, as has been the case in the United States, the process of facing up to our sins will lead to concrete steps taken to protect all children and to assure that those who would abuse are excluded or removed from ministry. The Executive Summary of the commission may be found here.
