Shari Redlener: There have been far too many norms that did not recognize the amago day fully in women. She says abuse of power does depend in part on cowing and intimidating fear, essentially shaming or scaring someone into silence. "Some of the best advice I can give is don't be afraid and don't be silent," she says.

We’ve witnessed story after story about the abuse of power practiced by Christians and Christian institutions. Does that mean that, to quote Lord Acton, that “power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely?” How should followers of Jesus relate to the possibility of wielding power? Cherie Harder, the President of The Trinity Forum, is ideally suited to address these questions. She’s spent a lifetime in the corridors of power and shares a wealth of theological and practical wisdom on this important topic.
