Cathy Harris’s Plea to Bob Jones University

SOUTH CAROLINA
Religion’s Cell

This is Cathy Harris. The following is from my heart:

I plead on behalf of myself and for others who have no voice; Stephen Jones and the BJU Board members, be strong and Godly leaders. Please honor your commitment you PROMISED survivors.

Bob Jones *initiated* hiring G.R.A.C.E. Work together honestly with Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (G.R.A.C.E.) in good faith. Without games. Without spin. Without selfish motives by the school to spruce up its “Show Window”—In good faith, finish the job.

Please stop turning away from survivors of the crimes G.R.A.C.E. has been investigating for the last year.

All of us are former students and graduates of Bob Jones Academy and/or Bob Jones University.
Some of us are grown-children of BJU’s faculty and staff— their sons and daughters.
Some are even former faculty/staff and BJU Press authors.
Some of us could have been your future if we hadn’t been discarded as worthless wounded.
