For an example of Ethnos360's culture of minimizing and excusing abuse, look no further than Warren Scott Kennell. This is a man with a 58-year prison sentence for abusing multiple children over several years and filming it. This is a man who used his position as a missionary to prey on vulnerable children. This is a man who, according to investigators, had over 900 images of CSAM on his hard drive.
How did Ethnos360 members respond? His father, a long-time Ethnos360 missionary, asked the court for leniency, listing positive things Kennell had done throughout his life. According to a news report, more than a dozen people filled several rows in court to support him.
I've yet to hear of an MK survivor who received that kind of support from Ethnos360 missionaries. Imagine how highly you must think of your missionary work to use it as evidence of the good done by a man who was abusing that same position to perpetrate such atrocities against the people he was "ministering" to. Minimizing and excusing abuse while coddling those committing the abuse is a choice Ethnos360 missionaries make over and over again.
This is the culture of Ethnos360, and this is why they have been unable to get a handle on child abuse within the organization.
