At the request of BJU, the nonprofit Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (GRACE) is currently investigating the university for how it's handled sexual abuse. More than 100 people have come forward to GRACE investigators, and the report is due out in the next few months. Boz Tchividjian, the head of GRACE, believes Christian organizations across the country have failed victims in similar ways, and that the Protestant world could in fact be “worse” than the Catholic Church .

Child abuse is found in organizations that want to conceal it and protect their reputation...e.g., the Boy Scouts. Protestants were never eliminated from the list of offenders. The RC is a large organization and pervasive.

Schools cover up child abuse and colleges cover up rapes and other kinds of violence.
