In recent weeks, new allegations regarding sexual misconduct by Ravi Zacharias have been published in various media outlets, including Christianity Today. These allegations have raised concern among some media entities and other parties over the decision of The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) in 2018 not to discipline Mr. Zacharias. This decision was made based on evidence available at the time regarding Mr. Zacharias’s personal behavior and ministry activities, which did not provide a basis for formal discipline under the C&MA policy.
On October 2, 2020, the C&MA contracted an independent investigative firm to explore the recent allegations of Mr. Zacharias’ sexual misconduct and will determine an appropriate course of action based on the investigation’s findings.
