Safe Congregation Handbook
Nurturing Heathy Boundaries in Our Faith Communities*
You say the little efforts I make
Will do no good; they will never prevail
To tip the hovering scale
Where Justice hangs in balance.
I don't think
I ever thought they would.
But I am prejudiced beyond debate
In favor of my right to choose which side
Shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.—Bonaro Overstreet
