4:10Now PlayingIs the Protestant world is teetering on the edge of a sexabuse scandal similar to the one that rocked the Catholic Church? We are joined by reporter Kathryn Joyce, whose cover story in The American Prospect profiles Boz Tchividjian, a law professor at Liberty University a school founded by Reverend Jerry Falwell and former prosecutor who worked on many sexual abuse cases. Tchividjian used his experience to found G.R.A.C.E. Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment. G.R.A.C.E. made headlines in February when the famous evangelical school, Bob Jones University, hired it to interview faculty and students about their experiences with sexual assault, then fired it before the it had a chance to report the results only to hire it back after a public outcry. Tchividjian is the grandson of the famous evangelist, Rev. Billy Graham.
