"I came to find out later that the false narrative about me—the idea that I could not be trusted and my motives were cause for concern—had been circulating amongst our wider staff; it was propagated by senior leadership." 25/29
"Michael Ramsden told several attendees at Founders’ that he and the senior leadership were “concerned” and “unsure” about my intentions, partly because “Ruth keeps records of everything,” and he warned them to “be careful” around me." 26/29
"Perhaps even more relevant and disturbing at present, I have yet to witness a posture of humility and contrition from the senior leadership within RZIM in response to the now multiple scandals and controversies for which I have served as spokesperson." 27/29
"While publicly they make statements that go as far as needed to absolve themselves, they have not expressed that posture internally and have given our team little reason to believe they have done this work themselves." 28/29
Thanks to the @RuthMalhotra for taking the bold step forward in bringing more darkness to light at RZIM. The focus of accountability and consequences for reprehensible conduct must go beyond Ravi Zacharias to the very heart of current leadership. 29/29 frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/you-are-one-…

The evils committed by Ravi Zacharias were enabled by a toxic organizational leadership that is evidenced by how these same leaders responded when confronted about the widespread and ongoing abuses being perpetrated by the namesake of the institution. 1/29
Please take time to read this piece by @DavideAFrench and the 26-page letter written by a first-hand witness. Here are just some of the excerpts: 2/29
"At one point, Ravi suggested to me that the Task Force “issue a statement that they [the Thompsons] are hooligans, they are scoundrels, they are thugs, they are serial extortioners.” If we didn’t do that, he told me, he would ask his attorney to do so on his behalf." 3/29
