Billy Graham’s Grandson Tullian Tchividjian Leaves The Gospel Coalition, Cites CJ Mahaney Controversy
By LEAH MARIEANN KLETT (NEWS@GOSPELHERALD.COM)
Popular author and speaker Tullian Tchividjian announced earlier this week that he would depart as a top contributor for the evangelical website The Gospel Coalition. In a post titled,
“I’ve Come to Set the Captives Free,” Tullian, who is the grandson of evangelist Billy Graham and the pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, wrote that the “the messaging of The Gospel Coalition has morphed over the last seven years” into something he feels is no longer consistent with their original mission: “to be a hallway where Christians from all denominational backgrounds who may disagree on non-essentials could gather and rally around the Good News.”
Tchividjian stated that he will instead be focusing his efforts on his own ministry, Liberate, which he describes as connecting “God’s inexhaustible grace to an exhausted world.” He reportedly informed TGC editors that he intended to move all of his blog content to his new site.
But his exit has been anything but pretty.
Although Tchividjian hoped to remain at TGC until August, he was informed that “certain members of The Gospel Coalition wanted the transition to happen ASAP.”
