INTERRUPTING SILENCE

by Walter Brueggemann


Silence is a complex matter. It can refer to awe before unutterable holiness, but it can also refer to the coercion where some voices are silenced in the interest of control by the dominant voices. It is the latter silence that Walter Brueggemann explores, urging us to speak up in situations of injustice 


This is very important for victims/survivors of sexual abuse by nuns because the shock it causes among the members of families and the entire Church, as well as the denial and fortress mentality of religious orders and communities of nuns and sisters combine to pressure survivors into silence.
