Abstract
We extend a model of relational spirituality and forgiveness to the context of major offenses by clergy. The association between forgiveness and appraisal of relational spirituality, and the mediating effect of relational engagement of God (or another source spirituality) between anger towards God and unforgiving motivations is explored.
