Reporting sexual abuse (2): If not Matthew 18, then what?

This editorial by Professor Barry Gritters addresses the proper reporting of sexual abuse within the Protestant Reformed Church context, arguing against the misapplication of Matthew 18 confrontation procedures to abuse cases and advocating for necessary external reporting to authorities and church leadership. The article emphasizes that while there is no single prescribed formula for reporting, church members must be guided by Scripture, wisdom, and love in responding to sexual crimes to protect victims and facilitate healing and repentance.
