Beyond Sexual Harassment to Dignity: March 7 Newsletter
Newsletter / Produced by The High Calling
The #MeToo movement has brought new attention to the long-standing reality of sexual harassment. Whether it’s inappropriate speech or unwelcome physical contact, not a lot has changed since biblical times. This week we reflect on sexual harassment in the Bible and today, and we look for God’s grace to guide us into dignity.

Beyond Sexual Harassment: Dignity
From The High Calling
I want so much more for my staff than freedom from harassment. I want them to feel valued as human beings. I want them to feel respected both for their work and for who they are. In a word, I want them to have dignity.
