Explore the geographic scope of the database. Cases are documented across multiple countries, denominations, and regions — and growing daily.
The Church Misconduct Database is a growing collection of publicly documented misconduct cases within church and Christian settings. The figures below reflect the current state of the database.
The chart below shows the denominations with the most documented records in the database. This reflects the current data set — not the prevalence of misconduct in any particular tradition.
Bar widths are scaled to emphasise differences between denominations. Actual record counts are shown on each bar.
Each marker represents a diocese or area where one or more cases have been recorded. Locations are approximate, based on the diocese or area field. Zoom in and click clusters to explore individual regions.

Locations shown on the map are approximate and based on the diocese or area associated with each case. Inclusion in the database does not imply guilt or wrongdoing.
