While most Protestant pastors see domestic violence as a pro-life issue and know of victims, they rarely speak about it in their churches, according to a new survey from LifeWay Research, which also found that less than half of them are trained to deal with the issue.

The survey, co-sponsored by Washington, D.C.-based Sojourners and Maryland-based IMA World Health, also shows that 29 percent of pastors who don't address the issue believe domestic violence is not a problem in their church.
And those who do address it are more likely to say it's a problem for their community (72 percent) than their church (25 percent.), adds the survey conducted in May 7-31, 2014.
