  • Clergy Sexual Abuse: Annotated Bibliography of Conceptual and Practical Resources
    Clergy Sexual Abuse: Annotated Bibliography of Conceptual and Practical Resources. Preface The phenomenon of sexual abuse as committed by persons in fiduciary relationships is widespread among helping professions and is international in scope. This bibliography is oriented to several specific contexts in which that phenomenon occurs. The first context is the religious community, specifically Christian churches, and particularly in the U.S. This is the context of occurrence that I best know and understand. The second context for the phenomenon is the professional role of clergy, a religious vocation and culture of which I am a part. While the preponderance of sources cited in this bibliography reflect those two settings, the intent is to be as comprehensive as possible about sexual boundary violations within the religious community. Many of the books included in this bibliography were obtained through interlibrary loan services that are available at both U.S. public and academic libraries. Many of the articles that are listed were obtained through academic libraries. Daily newspaper media sources are generally excluded from this bibliography for practical reasons due to the large quantity, lack of access, and concerns about accuracy and completeness. In most instances, author descriptions and affiliations refer to status at time of publication. In the absence of a subject or name index for this bibliography, the Internet user may trace key words in this PDF format through the standard find or search feature that is available as a pull-down menu option on the user’s computer.

  • Truth Commissions and Public Inquiries: Addressing Historical Injustices in Established Democracies
    TRUTH COMMISSIONS AND PUBLIC INQUIRIES: ADDRESSING HISTORICAL INJUSTICES IN ESTABLISHED DEMOCRACIES by Kim Pamela Stanton A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science Faculty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Kim Pamela Stanton 2010 Truth Commissions and Public Inquiries: Addressing Historical Injustices in Established Democracies Doctor of Juridical Science Kim Pamela Stanton Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2010 ABSTRACT In recent decades, the truth commission has become a mechanism used by states to address historical injustices. However, truth commissions are rarely used in established democracies, where the commission of inquiry model is favoured. I argue that established democracies may be more amenable to addressing historical injustices that continue to divide their populations if they see the truth commission mechanism not as a unique mechanism particular to the transitional justice setting, but as a specialized form of a familiar mechanism, the commission of inquiry. In this framework, truth commissions are distinguished from other commissions of inquiry by their symbolic acknowledgement of historical injustices, and their explicit “social function” to educate the public about those injustices in order to prevent their recurrence. Given that Canada has established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) on the Indian Residential Schools legacy, I consider the TRC’s mandate, structure and ability to fulfill its social function, particularly the daunting challenge of engaging the non-indigenous public in its work. I also provide a legal history of a landmark Canadian public inquiry, the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry, run by Tom Berger. As his Inquiry demonstrated, with visionary leadership and ii an effective process, a public inquiry can be a pedagogical tool that promotes social accountability for historical injustices.

  • Senate Inquiry Into Child Migration
    1 Senate Inquiry into Child Migration Submission Barry M Coldrey 2 Senate Inquiry Objective This author hopes that the inquiry will be approached seriously and done thoroughly so that no further inquiry on this matter is required. There have been a number of inquiries and investigations, including most recently that from the British Parliament, House of Commons, Health Committee. However, there has been no inquiry from Australia’s National Parliament, so that this by the Senate should fill that gap. Many former child migrants do wish their stories to be placed in an official record, and that official recognition is part of the reconciliation process for the hurt they suffered. However, at some stage, there had to be a conclusion and perhaps this will be the last public investigation of child migration. Present Position on Child Migration In the opinion of the author • Child migration as a policy was - in a social climate very different from that of today - a well-intended response to the needs of deprived children, even if this meant making the best of a most unfortunate situation. At the time, child migration was seen to be in the best interests of the children, providing them with a fresh start and better prospects which potentially offered them greater opportunities. There are many success stories. • The migration schemes were run by respected national voluntary and church organisations - Barnardo’s, Fairbridge, Church of English Council for Empire Settlement - to name but three. • Good intentions are one thing; their execution is another. The schemes were only as good as the people administering the schemes.

  • When You Can't Unearth the Covered Up: Archaeology and the Memorialization of Mount Cashel Orphanage by © Jazpyn Osmond a Th
    When You Can’t Unearth the Covered Up: Archaeology and the Memorialization of Mount Cashel Orphanage by © Jazpyn Osmond A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador November 2020 Abstract Far too often, places try only to bring forth the best parts of their heritage. St. John’s, Newfoundland is no different. The site of Mount Cashel Orphanage constitutes a ‘place of shame,’ associated with a number of instances of sexual and physical abuse committed by members of the Congregation of Christian Brothers against the boys at the orphanage. Local police, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC), and the Church covered up these allegations. In 1989, the RNC reopened an investigation, uncovering this abuse, which ultimately led to the orphanage's closure that had operated from 1898 to 1990. In 1992 Mount Cashel Orphanage was demolished, and today there is a grocery store, housing, and a memorial park, covering the site. I would argue that multiple factors explain the continuance of the cover-ups around the orphanage’s history, which does not show as a part of the area’s difficult heritage. To help combat this and to highlight how all heritage is important to the city’s narrative, I propose two ways of memorializing Mount Cashel Orphanage in this master’s thesis. This project's research involved interviewing two individuals connected to the Mount Cashel Orphanage and uses their responses regarding memorialization in conjunction with outside research.

    140 Bowman: The Aftermath of Clerical Sexual Abuse in Newfoundland Marion BOWMAN Crisis, Change and ‘the Continuous Art of Individual Interpretation and Negotiation’: The Aftermath of Clerical Sexual Abuse in Newfoundland ABSTRACT: At the core of this article is a significant but generally neglected incident, the clerical sexual abuse scandals that came to light in Newfoundland, Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The focus of this piece is what happened after the abuse was uncovered, so often the untold story following the flurry of attention surrounding initial revelation. In order to understand this aftermath, the religio-cultural context of the abuse, reactions to the revelations and the many ways in which change occurred in their wake are examined through the lens of vernacular religion. This case study prompts reflection on what can be learned about the ways in which a range of people are forced to negotiate and interpret their relationship with institutional religion in times of crisis and change, and how a vernacular religious approach helps us to understand and contextualise this. KEYWORDS: clerical sexual abuse; Catholic Church; Newfoundland; clericalism; folk religion; vernacular religion; lived religion; faith; practice Marion BOWMAN (Religious Studies, The Open University) works at the interstices of religious studies and folklore/ethnology, researching vernacular religion, Glastonbury and pilgrimage; publications include Vernacular Religion in Everyday Life: Expressions of Belief (New York & London, Routledge 2012),
