Break the Silence Sunday 2023

11/6/2023

 
Picture
Sunday, November 26, is Break the Silence Sunday.

General Convention Resolution 2022-C064, Break the Silence Sunday, originated from Province II. In affirmation of the resolution, the Diocese of New York (Province II)  passed its Break the Silence Sunday resolution proposed by GC Deputy Yvonne O'Neal and the Rev. Paul Feuerstein.

Break The Silence Sunday is a resource for churches to support survivors of sexual violence, particularly in the context of worship.

The attached toolkit, written by Yvonne O’Neal and prepared by the Diocese of New York, offers prayers, resources, discussion points and tools for presenting this important topic into congregations and communities:
  • Help congregations learn about the reality and scope of the problem of sexual violence.
  • Establish congregations as communities where survivors can share their stories and be received with hope and love.
  • Provide congregations with ways to advocate for change in their communities and around the world.

Greetings from Florence,
I am currently Senior Warden at St James Episcopal Church, Florence, Italy where I have been a parishioner for over 40 years. I was a member of the Bishop's delegation to the UNCSW in 2019.
I appreciate your work in developing this toolkit. I have downloaded it and will send it to our Vestry for discussion at our next meeting next week, prior to Break the Silence Sunday.

Regards,
Cynthia D'Alimonte
