Abstract

Rather than looking at the personal antecedents of clergy sexual addiction, this article looks at the systemic and environmental factors that contribute to clergy sexual addiction with the purpose of formulating a preventative strategy. Five recommendations are made regarding prevention: (1) A need for professional educational education and openness; (2) an integration of the whole person with the role as pastor; (3) breaking isolation with accountability; (4) proactive denominational care for clergy; and (5) a proactive play of response for the clergy sex addict. An invitation for others models that stress environmental factors with a preventative posture is made.
