Financial Assistance for Victims
Partners in Crisis is a supportive community offering hope to spouses of clergy during marital separation, divorce and other crises. Its primary purpose is to provide friendship, love and emergency resources. These may include:
- Connection with a person who can provide support, confidentiality and information to meet immediate and ongoing needs.
- Names of persons willing to provide temporary housing for the spouse and his or her children.
- Names of attorneys willing to give free emergency counsel on legal matters and laws of various states/counties [within the Holston Conference].
- Names of financial advisors willing to offer emergency counsel and guidance.
- Limited, immediate, short-term financial assistance through Partners in Crisis , based on availability of funds.
- Names and telephone numbers of current district superintendents and the director of the Holston Conference Pastoral Counseling Center who can support/advise the spouse during the crisis and subsequent healing process.
An integral part of the purpose of Partners in Crisis is confidentiality. Group discussions of a specific crisis is outside the parameters of regular meetings of the facilitators, thus assuring the spouse that her/his situation never becomes part of the business discussion.
Partners in Crisis is bound by faith in Jesus Christ and fellowship in the connectional church. It is committed to providing a safety net of prayerful, compassionate support, while avoiding blame and judgment.
