Welcome
to the website of Christian Action on Sexual Abuse (CASA)
The light shines in the darkness,
but the darkness has not understood it
(John 1:5)
(John 1:5)

Sexual abuse is surrounded by
silence or myth, more generally by both in some measure. This silence can also be found within the
Christian community. This website is the beginning of an attempt to remedy this. CASA not only intends to provide Christian
help for victims of sexual abuse but to clarify and promote a biblical perspective on the issue of sexual abuse.
This site is for all adults who have experienced sexual abuse: male and female victims of sexual assault and rape, adult victims of childhood sexual abuse, Christian and non-Christian victims. On this website you will find information, testimony and support resources. For the Christian, I hope you find it a place of encouragement. For the non-believer I hope it provides a means whereby you will come to know the peace, hope and healing that is to be found in Jesus Christ.

Victim Support If you
have been a victim of sexual abuse please visit the following pages: What to do if sexually abused and Information and Support Resources . Email Support and an online support forum is available: CASA Support Forum (under construction).
CASA is a gospel-centred ministry holding to the truths of the Bible on all matters including that of sexual abuse. This site therefore shares these biblical truths. Have you ever wondered about God? Have you ever questioned how there can be a God when people suffer from things such as abuse? Have you ever wondered where true peace, purpose and hope can be found? Please visit the pages below where you may find the answers to these questions: Personal stories of abuse and peace through Christ For Church Leaders Sections are being developed on this website to draw together resources that churches might find
useful. These will include reviews of books already written, from a Christian perspective, on sexual abuse. Various links
and downloadable leaflets/posters will also be made available. Please visit the site regularly as the resources are being
gradually developed. See Church Resources Can You Help? Please
Contact me if you can help. Are you interested in the issue of sexual abuse? Are you able to contribute to this website in terms
of articles, sharing of links etc? If so please Contact me.

About the Founder of CASA My name is Julie. I am a lecturer and a single
parent to a teenage girl. I have been a christian for just over seven years and am a member of a Baptist church in the
east of England. My own personal experience of abuse and my own conversion to Christianity can be found here: Responding to Christ: A personal account of rape and conversion I am no expert and simply feel called to tell of the sufficiency
of scripture in understanding abuse and the power of Christ to free those hurt by it. Please visit the site regularly
as resources are being constantly developed. The site is UK
based but I am keen to develop reciprocal links with Christian based support organisations throughout the world. Please visit
the Contact page if you are a webmaster interested in this.
Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you
rest. Matthew 11:28 |
