Today Charles talks with Sister Alia Salem, Founder and Executive Director of F.A.C.E (Facing Abuse in Community Environments) about the much needed work to highlight issues of abuse in religious environments and hold leaders accountable for immoral and predatory behaviors.

Why is the problem so widespread? Just who are these victims of religious abuse and what might it look like in your own religious community?
