mála árið 1996. Farið er yfir starfsreglur um meðferð kynferðisbrota innan kirkjunnar sem tóku gildi 1. janúar 1999 og siðareglur Prestafélags íslands og kirkjunnar en þeim er m.a. ætlað að verja safnaðarmeðlimi gegn kynferðislegri misnotkun kirkjunnar þjóna. Rakin er reynslan af starfi fagráðs kirkjunnar sem hefur það hlutverk að leysa úr innsendum málum í samræmi við starfsreglurnar, að endurskoða reglurnar í ljósi reynslunnar og að annast um fræðslu og forvarnir á sviði kynferðisbrota. Sé markmið kirkjunnar að vera öruggur staður, þar sem börn og fúllorðnir geta treyst því að kynferðisbrot séu ekki undir neinum kringumstæðum umborin, þá nægir ekki að setja starfsreglur um meðferð kynferðisbrota starfsmanna kirkjunnar. Hér er ekki dregið úr nauðsyn skýrra og markvissra starfsreglna, en innan kirkjunnar þarf einnig að fara fram guðfræðileg vinna sem snýst m.a. um það að endurskoða merkingu og túlkun mikilvægra hugtaka. Síðast en ekki síst þarf kirkjan að gefa skýr skilaboð, m.a. úr prédikunarstólnum, svo að það fari ekki framhjá neinum hvað það merkir að kirkjan vilji vera öruggur staður fyrir alla. Abstract: The aim of this article is to reflect on rules and regluations regarding sexual misconduct by employed individuals of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland. The original rules were passed by the General Synod in October of 1998, and became effective January lst, 1999. Pastors are expected to adhere to the ethical code of the pastors association, and every church employee should respect the code of professional conduct, where sexual misconduct is condemned as an abuse of power. A professional committee is responsible for dealing with charges of sexual misconduct, but also to revise rules and regulations in light of experience, as well as to provide for educational material and design preventative programs for the church. If the church is aiming to become a save place, where children and adults can be sure that sexual misconduct will not be tolerated, it is not enough to have rules and regulations about the handling of cases of sexual misconduct. Clear and focused rules and regulations are certainly important, but so is the theological work, f.ex. revisions of traditional meaning and interpretations of significant theological concepts. Last, but not least, the church has to give a clear message, also from the pulpit, so everybody will know what it actually means for the church to be a save place for everyone. 33
