CARE Team

The Peninsula-Delaware Annual Conference CARE TEAM presents:

What is the CARE Team?

The CARE Team is a group of clergy and laity in our Conference entrusted with the roles of:

Care       -       Advocacy        -        Response          -         Education

for persons and congregations involved in cases of alleged sexual misconduct.

What is the Vision of the CARE Team?

The CARE Team is a resource to help persons and congregations move toward:

            Understanding                       Reconciliation                         Wholeness

What is the Hope of the CARE Team?

The CARE Team will take appropriate steps for:

Prevention    -    Intervention   -   Restoration

with the hope that persons and congregations will achieve an optimum sense of well-being.

What the CARE Team is NOT.

The CARE Team is not a replacement for the intervention process that investigates complaints of alleged sexual misconduct. That process is directed by the Bishop, in compliance with The Book of Discipline. Rather, the CARE Team is considered a resource to provide appropriate care to persons and congregations engaged in that process.
