There are many reasons why the unfolding news of Ravi Zacharias’ abuse is enraging. But for me, there’s one other piece. The women he chose to abuse were young, massage therapists, ethnic minorities, likely women who were not in positions of power or education.
Contrast that with the evangelical women who publicly supported Zacharias AFTER the news of his abuse of Lori Anne Thompson was out - @ChristineCaine @JackieHillPerry, @sadierob, Shelly Giglio, Brooke Ligertwood, Phylicia Masonheimer and others - women who are educated, powerful
women who said Ravi treated them with tenderness and respect, and I believe them. Because he chose to abuse women who would not be able to speak out, whom he knew would not be as easily believed. That’s sickening.
If you are a woman in a position of power who supported Ravi knowing the allegation of abuse against him, it’s time to apologize. To Lori Anne Thompson, whom you did not believe
to the other women who watched silently from the sidelines as you thanked their abuser and praised him for how he treated you.
