C.J. Mahaney is facing serious charges of allegedly covering up child sex abuse, yet he is still a speaker at the Together for the Gospel Conference (T4G) going on this week.
“Every time a complicit church official is honored, it discourages victims, witnesses and whistleblowers from exposing predators, warning parents and protecting kids. Giving corrupt men like Mahaney praise and visibility contributes to the already strong sense of powerlessness that many who saw, suspected and suffered sexual abuse within churches feel. It decreases the chances they’ll find the courage and hope needed to speak up about horrific wrongs. Essentially, it sanctions the concealing of sexual assaults against children.” -SNAP letter to T4G
