I am an outside MK and understand the situation to the extent that an outsider can. And I say, act.
Why wait for the Grace report? Why wait for the mission to act when it has left these men in place for years? Why wait for outside publicity to put pressure on the predators. You are adults and you are rightly, angry. Act. You are not powerless children any more and you have the evidence. Act on the behalf of the people you love who were so badly damaged by these sexual predators. Act on behalf of the children that are having their lives taken away right now by these predators...while we write these words. Put those evil men in jail or in a place where they can't ruin other people's lives. Their acts are monstrous. They have had mercy for many years (gotten away with it) and have had a chance to repent before God if such was their intention. Now give them justice.
The mission should act - I absolutely agree. The mission should take the Grace recommendations about Fanda and duplicate them here. But I do not know if it will. Entrenched negative cultures sometimes take earthquakes to dislodge. However, the fear of a lawsuit is a mighty, mighty motivator. I have seen that over and over in the organizations I work for.
Now, I do not know the unintended consequences of such a lawsuit on those bringing it. I do believe, however, that people can bring lawsuits on the behalf of others. Any lawyers in your group? Grace has proven to be trustworthy and knows the system. Ask and take their advice.
