Ah the well known sleezy kangaroo court, held by the wannabe groper, set up to give false accusations if sexual misconduct, towards the timidly confused and genuine Christian. Ah yes. I remember it well. The perpetrator bought homes close to the university, filled the rooms with Christian union students, and proceeded to run his own little cult. He was the most disgusting little man
Dead now, and sizzling on the downstairs barbecue.

Catholicism in the 1990’s went through painful change where-‘abusers and excusers’-needed to be radically exorcised. Anglicanism is now in the same place. I am a retired NHS worker and work part-time in retirement as medical member on judicial panels. For several years I have asked senior clerics to address a New Wine bullying and harassment scandal which I witnessed. Two out of five students in my group were savagely ill-treated and unfairly accused of sexual misconduct. The approach of senior New Wine and Anglican Church leaders looked like the sleazy kangaroo court justice (DARVO-deny attack reverse victim and offender). A professor, an Archbishop-level cleric and a senior teacher were disgusted by the foul student abuse. Yet years later my persistent attempts to highlight this have been ignored. But latterly I have testified to the Pilavachi-New Wine review led by Fiona Scolding KC. I have shared concern how relevant witness evidence from me has not yet been incorporated into the final Pilivachi report. I am asking the lead Safeguarding Bishop, Joanne Grenfell, to share my concern with the Archbishop of Canterbury. Watch this space. God is not mocked, and victims are starting to see this divine principle (promise) in observation.

Well said, Gavin. I had heard from several reliable sources that there was more to come about ++York, and I strongly suspect we have not yet heard everything. I’ve been calling for him to go for a while now. But I strongly doubt he will go anywhere unless absolutely forced to.

Well said! And the Revd. Charles Bell of Girton College Cambridge also calls for Cottrell to step down in an outspoken attack on the church.
