  • Often the church can be on the back foot in leading positive cultural change, however, in these times when we have an opportunity to truly shine in advocating for justice, Common Grace provides for us here a resource that will contribute to a turnaround in our society in regards to violence towards women. This is a moment for the church to be what it is meant to be. Thank you Common Grace.
  • There has never been a more urgent need for resources such as Safer. Through Safer, Common Grace has taken a vital step in equipping churches, church leaders and all Christians to better understand domestic and family violence, and to respond appropriately. It provides a wealth of essential information, addresses key issues and questions, and offers links to a wide range of further resource material. We believe that Safer will be an instrument for change in our churches, promoting a culture where women feel safe in their relationships and where those who cry out for help will be heard and supported.
  • Domestic and family violence is one of the most urgent issues facing our churches and society today. Common Grace have put together a brilliant resource that will transform the church, resource leaders and congregations, and make women safer.
  • I cannot thank Common Grace enough for having the courage to lead us into territory that for far too long has been deemed out of bounds for discussion. This resource provides us with practical guidance to recognise, call out, support and prevent this from happening in our communities. If you are serious about interrupting injustice in your community then here is a map forward for you.
  • Domestic violence is a cruel betrayal of the trust we all hope for in our intimate human relationships. Churches should be places of safety and support where that betrayal can be honestly faced, and, with urgency and action, overcome. Our failure to be that place must be challenged and changed. The Common Grace DV resource, SAFER, helps us to make that change, to be better friends and family. I warmly recommend this resource to you and encourage churches not only to use it, but to put it at top of their agenda.
  • Safer may yet peel away the scales from the eyes of those who do not yet understand or recognise domestic abuse, and is a powerful resource for churches who wish to make their parishes a place of refuge and safety for women who have suffered silently in their midst.
