Break the Silence Sunday, November 22, 2026
“Ensure Justice, Protect Survivors of Violence and End Impunity.”
Break the Silence Sunday is an important opportunity for churches and faith communities to stand together in solidarity with survivors of violence, raise awareness, and reaffirm our Christian commitment to ending violence against women, girls, and all vulnerable members of our communities.
The Pacific Conference of Churches (PCC), through its Gender Justice and Safe Churches Ministry, has shared liturgical resources for churches to use to acknowledge this important day. Global Ministries’ mission co-worker Rev. Sara Marean prepared the sermon in the liturgical resource.
The theme calls on churches not only to speak out against violence but also to actively seek justice, protect survivors, and challenge the silence and practices that allow perpetrators to escape accountability.
Through prayer, reflection, and collective action, may we continue to strengthen our churches as safe spaces where survivors are heard, supported, protected, and treated with dignity.
May we continue to break the silence, ensure justice, protect survivors of violence, and end impunity.
