This website gives a brief summary of the IARP report without having to download the 568 pg document.

The IARP report from the Congo/Pruitt investigation is here: http://gamc.pcusa.org/ministries/iarp/

The report indicates that Pat went onsite to mulitiple MK schools on different continents to do the investigations.
I skimmed Part 2 that has the recommendations and suggest reading it - it is thorough. I was impressed with some of the recommendations - particularly the mandated reporter clause.

PC USA also has a helpful webpage for educating about and reporting abuse that the report referencedPat helped create.

[quote="hurt-n-hopeful"]We should be praying too, consequently, for those MKs who, as of yet, have not ventured here, and for those who have ventured and have yet to acknowledge the pain here. We are all on this journey...and everyone is at a different stage of the trek.


I agree wholeheartedly hurt-n-hopeful, we need to keep in mind all the different stages of healing people are in. Not everyone is past it, and we need to be gentle in dealing with everyone on this forum as this is a place of healing and not of riducule.
Thank you for your insights!

Tibby Westcott had this to say regarding PH:

"Ms. Hendrix is part of the Presbyterian Church and was heavily involved in the PC USA’s big abuse investigations. Because of this she’s highly qualified to coordinate the historic abuse investigations. She will work with a recommendations panel made up of non-NTM, professional people – several are being asked by Ms. Hendrix to be part of this panel right now. This panel, with her, will appoint the investigators who apparently will be formed into teams of three and given the documentation etc. to investigate all the other schools/fields where historic abuse issues occurred. I understand that Vianopolis may be the first school to be investigated but the order of these is Ms. Hendrix’s decision."

Check out the comments posted on the Fanda Eagles front page.

From Pat Hendrix

The NTM Board has the recommendations from the Panel concerning the historical abuse in Vianopolis. Larry Brown was out of the country until 11/18 and returned to the office on the 21st. IHART is waiting to hear from them with their decisions.

Thanks, dbarney.
