A Time to Speak: Addressing Justice and Forgiveness | Rachael Denhollander | Calvin University

Rachael Denhollander is an advocate and educator who became known internationally as the first woman to file a police report and speak publicly against Larry Nassar, one of the most prolific sexual abusers in recorded history. As a result of her activism, over 250 women came forward as survivors of Nassar’s abuse, leading to his life imprisonment. In 2018, she was named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. A devout Christian, lawyer and teacher, Rachael has clearly and graciously challenged Christian institutions to live more faithfully as communities resistant to abuse and safe for survivors. She holds a Juris Doctorate from Oak Brook College of Law and is a member of the California Bar Association.

There is big money in sexual abuse.
Nassar case is worth $800,000,000.

Much respect for her work on abuse, but the assertion that only Christianity offers true justice is extremely narrowminded and in itself a source of great abuse and evil because it makes everyone who is outside of Christianity the other or the lesser.
