Thanks for your reply, Richard.  I appreciate your argument.  Before one can respond, one must be educated.  Part of the action/response is education itself.    Education is also a form of action.  Another element, implicit in my argument, is that we need to act by acting together--I suggest creating a national campaign in which all churches participate.  Also see the line at the end of my piece: "to be continued".  In my next piece on this issue, I am going to do precisely what you requested--provide one specific example of how the church can response to the problem of child abuse.
