Since before #MeToo, Boz Tchividjian has held abusers in church accountable
Tchividjian, a grandson of Billy Graham, founded GRACE as the Catholic abuse scandal was emerging in the early 2000s—alerting Protestants to the issue in their churches.
(The Christian Science Monitor) Basyle “Boz” Tchividjian has devoted most of his career to an emotionally and spiritually wrenching task.
A former prosecutor, he has been investigating charges of sexual misconduct and child abuse for nearly three decades. Since the mid-2000s, however, he has focused on houses of worship, especially those within his own evangelical Protestant tradition. He has handled hundreds of cases over the years, and he is still seared by the memories of them.
In 2003 Tchividjian, a grandson of Billy Graham, founded an organization called GRACE, or Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment. He remains its executive director, as well as a law professor at Liberty University.
