When My Brother Touched Me: A Look at Sexual Assault and Harassment in the Church
by Josephine McKinney
When My Brother Touched Me is a foundational work that examines how sexual assault and harassment have been mishandled within church culture for far too long.
Written with theological depth, lived experience, and pastoral care, this book explores the ways silence, denial, and spiritual bypassing have shaped the Church’s response to abuse—often leaving survivors unseen and unsupported.
Rather than sensationalizing harm or assigning blanket blame, this work invites thoughtful reflection, accountability, and truth-telling. It calls faith communities to grapple honestly with difficult realities while remaining rooted in justice, compassion, and the heart of Christ.
