interesting oath. especially in the light of the waivers they are asking lay volunteers to sign. There is a priest in NJ who is requiring all volunteers, incl. ushers, eucharistic ministers, not just those who work with children, to sign the waivers. The bishop backs him up - "monsignor knows his parish best."
Most of the volunteers have refused to sign and volunteer in that parish, not wanting to be abandoned and bankrupted if they are falsely accused.
I was thinking about teaching CCD, but in light of having to endure hours of training - "it can happen in your family," and signing waivers - probably not.
They're pulling this in CT, diocese of Hartford.
Not signing anything here either.
