Gay Byrne conducted an interview with actor Gabriel Byrne, where the Irish actor discusses sexual and physical abuse at the hands of the Christian Brothers. The interview is available at The Meaning of Life with Gay Byrne. An article on the story is available from The Independent.
I think this interview is well worth your time and attention. The video will only be available until 7 February 2010 from the link. It is amazing that the stories of so many survivors of sexual crimes committed by Catholic clergy are so similar.
The Let Go…Let Peace Come In Foundation is a newly formed nonprofit with a mission to help heal and support adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse worldwide. We are actively seeking adult survivors who would be willing to post a childhood photo and caption, their story, or their creative expressions to our website http://www.letgoletpeacecomein.org. By uniting survivors from across the globe we can help provide a stronger and more powerful voice to those survivors who have not yet found the courage to speak out. Together we can; together we should; together we NEED to stand up and be counted. Please visit our site for more details on how you can send us your submissions.
Thank you for everything you do!
