ABSTRACT
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE is a pervasive reality that knows no boundaries of class, color, country, or faith perspective (Stirling, Cameron, Nason-Clark, & Miedema 2004; Timmins, 1995). Its prevalence around the world has been documented through statistics collected by government agencies, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations Secretariat (Kroeger & Nason-Clark, 2001/2010). Yet, religious voices are often silenced, or sidelined, and a holy hush still operates in many congregational or denominational circles (Nason-Clark, 2004; Fortune, 1991; Potter, 2007).
