Kirk 'silent' on domestic abuse
Scotland -
The Church of Scotland has not always been a safe haven for women suffering domestic abuse, according to a report.
It calls on the Kirk's General Assembly to show regret for its record on protecting victims of domestic abuse.
The report from the Kirk's church and nation committee criticises theologians for being "virtually silent" on the issue.
It goes on to ask why the church has "in many instances condoned sexual harassment and even violence within its own institutional life".
