(ChruchLeaders) In the wake of the independent investigation detailing sexual abuse by Ravi Zacharias, more groups are cutting ties with the late apologist. After the devastating report was released last week, the British branch of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) immediately cut ties to the U.S.-based RZIM organization (which has suspended all fundraising activities). Now RZIM Canada has announced it will end operations, and the denomination to which Zacharias belonged has posthumously expelled him.
RZIM Canada: ‘The messenger’ Harms the Message
In a February 18 statement, the RZIM Canada board of directors say that “after much prayerful consideration” it is “compelled to begin winding down” its operations. The organization, which calls financial support from donors “a sacred trust,” also has inactivated its donation page “in the spirit of integrity” while its future is under review.
