Abstract: | Domestic violence is a serious problem worldwide and is often perpetuated by complex social and cultural factors. The former
post-communist countries of Romania and Moldova are no exception despite recent social attention. Many evangelical churches
have not addressed this problem. The purpose of this project was to begin to assess the understanding of clergy and congregation
members from evangelical churches in Romania and Moldova about domestic violence. Findings indicate that domestic violence
occurs within the evangelical church in both Romania and Moldova, and that cultural and religious factors influence its prevalence.
Suggestions for further research and training are included. |
