Where Could I Carry My Shame?

Rev. Amanda Hayes-Bowman
Harvey Browne Memorial Presbyterian Church
Presbyterian Church (USA)
Louisville, KY
Scripture: 
2 Samuel 13:1-22 (NRSV)
John 20:24-29 (NRSV)

When pleading with Amnon, Tamar asks, “Where could I carry my shame if you rape me?” This is a question survivors of rape and other forms of violence ask still today. “Where can I bring my shame?” And the church remains largely silent, perhaps implicitly saying, “Not here.”
