520 |a In 1988, the United Methodist Church went on record in their opposition to sexual harassment. A study of sexual harassment in the denomination was mandated, and later updated in 2005. This paper discusses some of the findings of that update, focusing on the gender and the clergy/lay status of both perpetrators and victims. Based on 1800 surveys from leaders in the denomination, the study suggests that (1) rates of sexual harassment against women have remained fairly stable, but reports of sexual harassment against men have risen sharply, especially regarding the more ambiguous types of harassment, (2) most perpetrators against both women and men continue to be men, and (3) perpetrators are now found more among the laity than the clergy. Overall, the earlier concern about sexual misconduct by male clergy remains, but the added problem of sexually harassing laity warrants attention. In addition, more research is needed about same-sex sexual harassment (SSSH) in the context of a traditional institution like the church.
