Grappling with theological issues raised by abuse, this book argues that the Church should be challenged, and ministered to, by survivors. Paying careful attention to her interviews with Christian women survivors, Shooter finds that through painful experiences of transformation they have surprisingly become potential agents of transformation for others. Shooter brings the survivors' narratives into dialogue with the story of Job and with medieval mystic Marguerite Porete's spirituality of 'annihilation'. Culminating in an engagement with contemporary feminist theology concerning power and powerlessness, there emerges a set of principles for authentic community spirituality which crosses boundaries with God, supports appropriate human boundaries and, crucially, listens attentively. Appealing to Church leaders, students, practitioners and practical theologians, this book offers a creative and ethical theological enquiry as well as some spiritual anchor points for survivors.
Susan Shooter gained her MA in Theological Studies at St John's College Nottingham; her dissertation was entitled ’The Cross as the Tree of Life: symbol of transformation for church and world’. Ordained in 1996 in the Diocese of Rochester, she served two curacies and was Incumbent for nine years, also tutoring on diocesan lay training courses; for two years she was Biblical Strand Leader for the Canterbury Christ Church Cert. in Theology for Ministry. Recently she successfully completed her DMin thesis with King's College London.
