HARTFORD (CT)
Hartford Courant
January 27, 2019
The Courant would like to hear from people across Connecticut who are willing to share their personal stories about how the recent disclosure by the Archdiocese of Hartford that dozens of priests have been credibly accused of sexual assault have affected them — their faith, their fears, their views on organized religion, their hopes for moving forward.
For Catholics, the disclosures have raised questions about their relationship with the church and their own local parishes. For survivors of sexual assault, the disclosures can be both cathartic and painful. For many, the revelations have been emotionally wrenching and painful.
We are interested in personal stories and honest reflections from the deeply faithful and the estranged. We hope these stories will help provide context for anyone struggling with the repercussions of these revelations.
If you are interested, please send an essay of about 650 words to opinion@courant.com, or by mail to The Hartford Courant, Opinion Department, 285 Broad St., Hartford, CT 06115.
