to be one of those Providential hindrances, not of human origin.

Hoping to shed more light than heat..

In the past few weeks, the father’s condition took an unexpected downward turn, and
recovery looked unlikely. At that time, our team member decided to completely step
back from the writing process in order to care for his father. This was a difficult
decision, but one that the GRACE team fully supported. Early last week, we decided to
postpone the publication date in order to give our team member and friend the
necessary time to address this difficult family emergency.
During the early morning hours of Sunday, August 10th, the beloved father of our team
member passed away into the waiting arms of heaven

But frankly the release of the report is going to be a non-event anyway. For all expecting some blockbuster news, prepare to be disappointed

I didn’t quite understand why the extra long delay either .. but then are they a “full time” operation? Or are they doing this in addition to other places of employment? ( Just trying to figure out why it would take so long since they’re working on the final draft..)

I agree it will probably not be as earth shattering as some are thinking (or in some cases hoping..)

I agree with Jim that this report will be a non-event. If GRACE was in possession of some information that there is abuse because of people at BJU, they would do past, present, and future victims a disservice by dragging this out this long.
