Thank you for referring me to Sharper Iron. I had looked there for commentary after Pettit's pre-report statement, but had not gone back because it seemed they were dismissive of the GRACE Report. Some still are, which I find sad. I think the GRACE Report is a wake up call to all Fundy...

With all the turmoil at that crazy church, I can't help but wonder if they knew the deceased... http://m.news9.com/story.aspx?story=27679583&catId=112032

If you find the time and inclination, please consider scanning and posting the article.

I agree, of course...but there are a whole lot of IFBxers who welcome the guy and his bad sermons. His fan base needs to cut him off.

It also was not an accident that the Sword of the Lord / Shelton Smith thought it was worthy of printing and sharing with their subscribers. SOTL supporters - you get what you tolerate!

The 300 page GRACE Report has been outlined to make it easier to find topics and content. This is a work in progress and last I checked they were up to Chapter 6: http://bjugrace.com/2014/12/13/an-outline-of-the-grace-report-on-bob-jones-university/

BJU President Pettit addressed the students during chapel and put a hard spin on the GRACE Report situation - even going so far as lying. Obviously they wanted no record of this, so did not offer a recording. A member of the audience audio recorded it. They just can't make that many people keep...

Washington Post, USA Today, Reuters, and the New York Times is quite a bit of traction. I would hate to think the only source of news some people get is the 6pm news on TV. Their silence has nothing to do with them being poorly informed.

It has been widely reported by major news agencies: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/bob-jones-university-president-apologizes-to-victims-of-sexual-assault-on-campus/2014/12/11/1ae43172-815a-11e4-b936-f3afab0155a7_story.html...

Extremely. John Piper responded to the PR "apology" video with the word "Encouraging", while not saying anything after the actual report was released. Of course, no IFBx mannogawd has made a public statement (if you know of one, please link). Just hearing lots and lots of crickets. IMHO, and...

An article about the silence of the Christian Right to the GRACE Report. Outside of BJU's lame attempt at an apology, has anyone seen this publicly addressed by the Christian Right? http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/12/13/1351650/-Christian-Right-Silent-about-Bob-Jones-U-Sex-Abuse-Report#

BJU knew about the GRACE report findings and recs before the rest of us did. So far I am not impressed with their response (I acknowledge they are still in their 90 day transition, but this one is a no-brainer.): "Despite the GRACE Report’s recommendations that Dr. Berg no longer teach...

"Solicitor Walt Wilkins said today he will begin an investigation into the way Bob Jones University handled sexual abuse reports from students to see if state law was broken or obstruction of justice occurred. In addition, he hopes anyone who wants to prosecute abuse will contact his office."...

Argumentum ad populum

Vince, to be fair, HAC would never even submit to a GRACE Investigation, though it desperately needs to.

Godly? No. It is NOT because people "felt" it was because their behavior was atrocious. They told victims not to report sex abuse to the police to spare the pervs and their own reputation. Also, please note BJU tried to stop this investigation last January by firing GRACE. Only after...

I also want to point out that GRACE did a solid investigation. Contrast this will David Gibb's alleged "internal investigations".

IIRC = If I remember correctly If any institution needs a GRACE investigation it is Hyles Anderson / FBCH. That would truly be a way to clean house - if they followed GRACE recommendations. Right now the question is will BJU actually follow GRACE's recommendations and truly reform, or just...
