Liberate, which Billy Graham’s grandson and his “rascally band of ragamuffins” founded, has closed in the aftershock of Tullian Tchividjian’s resignation.
The site is under Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church’s ministry umbrella, and Tchividjian’s resignation has caused those behind the site to re-evaluate the ministry’s future.
“Considering Pastor Tullian’s recent resignation as senior pastor of CRPC after admitting moral failure, and his subsequent statement and actions, it is with heavy hearts that our Church Leadership has come to the conclusion to temporarily close LIBERATE,” the site reads.
Liberate was “an annual conference, a content-based website, a pastors network, radio, writing projects and soon-to-be television program, Liberate exists for one very specific reason: to connect God’s inexhaustible grace to an exhausted world,” Tchividjian wrote last year.
Now, though, the 2016 conference has been cancelled, and the site says there will be a full refund for those who registered.
Site administrators write that they hope the message of Liberate will continue.
