THE STENCH FROM THE ANGLICAN CHURCH

 First Welby, now Cottrell…and there are many more…people in leadership in the Church of England, who knew and know about abusers but did and do nothing about them and even allow them to be promoted.

Vipers who, when exposed squirm and offer lame excuses for their perfidy and their collusion with those who have destroyed the innocence of our young. Snakes who, claim they had no option, that lawyers advised, that promotions were automatic, as they license abusers to have access to the vulnerable and see them promoted and honoured with greater laudatory titles, even while knowing the young lives they have so damaged and destroyed. 

This vile coterie of men with their male God in their male club, has been exposed by Helen-Ann,  Bishop of Newcastle, who her male colleagues have shafted, for saying Cottrell should go, as she said Welby had to go. But in truth, all who have been involved, who have known, who have stood by Welby and Cottrell and the hidden rest, should go.

Clear out the House of Bishops and the Anglican leadership of the rot with which it is infested. No child is safe while ever one bishop remains who has not the courage to face down an abuser, who has not the moral backbone to ignore legal advice, and do what is right to do, to protect children.

Who are these miscreant pretenders after faith who for fear of being sued, or being charged with harassment, or slapped with a restraining order, place children in jeopardy? Jesus faced the cross, but they are unwilling to face a prison cell.

The law is wholly unfit for purpose in this regard. It allows unscrupulous lawyers to have evidence about abusers withheld and concealed, reporting restrictions and injunctions enforced. Victims, some in Anglican leadership, can apply for such things too, to protect their anonymity, but which perversely then, at the same time, protects their abuser from being exposed, and thereby endangers others. 

The Church, the legal profession, the state, the police, the media and the judiciary are all, in various ways implicated. They collude at worst to produce a protective shield around abusers. 

There must be reform, not least a legal requirement to report any knowledge of abuse. Meanwhile, the exposed like Cottrell and all the others in hiding, must go.

"You brave, courageous and wonderful man. To stand up for the truth

WELBY, ANGLICANS AND RELIGION A DIRE THREAT TO CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE– A CALL FOR ALL THOSE WHO KNEW TO RESIGN

Priests compiled a secret report as far back as 1982 that confirmed horrific attacks upon the young, were taking place at the hands of the vile evangelical, Anglican lay reader, and barrister Smythe. Eight other people were sent that report, which, with sinister direction, is marked ‘Strictly Confidential.’ All who knew chose not to bring him to justice and stop the abuse.

For decades this monstrous man, carried out his perverse violations, initially from his garden shed, inflicting so much damage, that blood poured from the beaten wounds. Then at Christian camps, in schools, in this country and then abroad, at least 115 lives were shattered by this evil manipulator who used the language of God and sin to manipulate and mangle victim after victim.

In 1992, one such adolescent was found unresponsive, at the bottom of a pool, at one of Smythe’s camps. In 2000 the Ruston report was passed to the Titus Trust, who ignored it for the next 14 years.

All those in high office in the Church of England, in the Iwerne Trust and the Titus Trust, in Scripture Union, in powerful evangelical circles and from Winchester College said nothing to the authorities and failed to stop him.

In 2013 another brave victim, from among the many, spoke out but police said they did not have enough evidence to continue an investigation, but the church did not disclose what they knew. Two very senior Anglicans had themselves been abused by Smythe, and they too remained silent.

Not until 2017, when more victims came forward, were the police able to relaunch their investigation. The Makin report then finally commissioned by the Church of England, was due to be published in 2019, but was suppressed for 5 years, much to the anger of victims. Published finally, Welby, ‘a former friend’ of Smythe wriggled and squirmed with his Lambeth minders and Anglican ghouls insistent he would stay in office, but the outrage at this shameful cover up and his collusion with it has driven him ignominiously from office.

Adults are dangerous, looking first to cover their backs, protect their positions, safeguard their jobs, advantage their institutions and in the process stand by as children are betrayed. Add God, religion and church to the mix and children are in the gravest peril. It must become a legal requirement to report safeguarding issues and those who don’t ought to be charged with a criminal offence. Reporting is not easy.

I know personally the cost of reporting and the obstacles faced. When I bravely, with the support of my family and my church, acted to stop an abuser from gaining another position of authority over children, I faced resistance from the authorities, the police, the courts and from the judiciary. I was arrested four times, spent 4 nights in police cells, was threatened with jail and branded a criminal for breaching a restraining order that wrongly sought to stop my public campaigning against the abuser.

Perversely, even the abuser, had the police interview me under caution. However, I have nothing to regret as ultimately, by breaching the restraining order, I was successful in having the abuser barred from his job and barred from having access to children in the future.

The Church of England, Welby, Anglican bishops and evangelical leaders, Scripture Union, those involved in the Titus Trust and Iwerne Trust ought to hang their heads in shame and all who knew, but chose not to report Smythe should take responsibility for their immoral silence and resign from whatever positions they hold.

ALEXEI NAVALNY and ALEXANDRA SKOCHILENKO – CHRISTS OF OUR TIME

Alexei Navalny -speaking out despite the risks, the threats, and the intimidation. Exposing and resisting corruption. Falsely accused numerous times. Poisoned with Novichok. His life saved in Germany, for him to return to Russia, only to be arrested at the airport and after a series of ‘sham’ trials, be sentenced to 28 years in prison, and now be murdered by the Russian State. Imprisoned too is Alexandra Skochilenko, an artist, sentenced to 7 years for attaching to a few shop labels, antiwar messages. Meanwhile, released, in some cases 17 years early, to fight in the war, are numerous men who have committed the most gross civilian murders. Killing appears not to disturb the Russian leader, who is now responsible for over half a million deaths. This ocean of blood is rising, drowning so many, destroying so much. Meanwhile, the leader of the Russian Church, Kyrill, has called Putin’s rule, ‘a miracle of God’, and has supported the invasion of Ukraine and described Ukrainian resistance as evil.

The Church has failed yet again miserably to uphold Christ’s message of love and goodness. Navalny and Skochilenko are the Christs of our time. Focus your prayers, your worship and your devotions on them, not the carpenter of bygone centuries, or the Church, that has betrayed Jesus’s legacy, for God in Christ lives today among us and we fail to recognise Christ at our peril, in the brave women and men, like Navalny and Skochilenko, through whom God’s light shines on and God’s truth prevails, over the corrupt leaders of church and state, and who have the means to lead us to peace, even from their prison cells, and even chillingly, from their graves. The forces of evil always seek to crucify and silence the Christ. Our hope and belief, is that Christ's voice can never be silenced.
