Billy Graham’s Grandson: On Chid Sex Abuse, Evangelicals Worse Than Catholics | The New Civil Rights Movement

Trying to figure out how he is able to rectify this view in light of where he teaches law? Criminality is suppressed and restoration of the "guilty" party back into leadership is the typical modus operandi of the evangelical crowd as recent headlines have shown (ie. Dino Rizzo and Sam Hinn),,,

The name Billy Graham is synonymous with America’s evangelical movement, “televangelism,” and the infamous Moral Majority. The Billy Graham Crusades were legendary, and Graham, today, 94-years old, is seen as being the most popular televangelist of all time.

At the Religion Newswriters Association (RNA) conference last week in Austin, Texas, Billy Graham’s grandson dropped a bombshell that should have made a huge impact in the national media, but — perhaps for obvious reasons — was barely reported.

Evangelical Basyle “Boz” Tchividjian (image, left, with Rev. Billy Graham,) is a Liberty University law professor focused on sexual abuse in the church — and a man who just happens to be Billy Graham’s grandson. On Thursday, he told the RNA audience that when comparing sexual abuse in the church, “I think we are worse” than Catholics.

Tchividjian, who is also the executive director of GRACE, Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment, says that the culture of Protestant Evangelical churches makes it harder to report sexual abuse of minors, and makes it harder for those who report the abuse to be believed.
