[Women] Women's Group Feb. 10

[Annie Warmke]

Karen;  Here's what I'd like to speak about.

This has to do with Paul Dunn and his sexual harassment of at least four 
women in the months before he left.  It is reported that he is returning 
in a few days so this is very worrisome me that women are not safe in 
our church family.  I am concerned also because four came forward but 
how many others are there? Initially (July 2019) a man spoke from church 
spoke to me about Paul and asked what to do.  I suggested he go to the 
board president and Kat.  He did do that but nothing came of it.

Now that Paul is returning the man who spoke up is very concerned, and 
spoke to me again.  I asked him to talk to Kat and the board to find out 
what our policy is on handling sexual harassment.  He was told that they 
would work on it on Monday at the board meeting.  That made me wonder if 
there is a policy, and if so, why weren't they adhering to it?

I brought the initial report up at the Women's mo. meeting in Aug. 2019 
and asked what could be done.  There was a discussion but nothing came 
of it.  I don't feel we should be the ones taking the lead on this.  It 
is the men who must step up and support the one who initially brought it 
to everyone's attention.

It is clear something needs to be done before Paul returns. Shouldn't 
we, as a women's group make a statement about sexual harassment and how 
we want it dealt with?  I cannot look away. Annie
