A call for Justin Welby, Stephen Cottrell and William Nye to resign their posts is not a call for them to be shunned.

Responding to BBC’s File on Four expose, Stephen Cottrell can’t resist his natural impulse to lie about Church of England safeguarding.
The ISB-11 wrote an open letter to the Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell. A response was promised within two days. Two weeks later, they are still waiting.
The lack of thought given to victims and survivors is proof that Church of England leaders still do not understand their safeguarding crisis.
The Archbishops’ Council’s response to the Makin review on John Smyth’s abuse is one of delays and lack of urgency.
By refusing to act in a moral way, the Church of England bishops, as a group, have abrogated their automatic right to seats in the House of Lords.
Why is action only being taken against priests? What about the bishops criticised in the Makin Review?
The question that I, and many others I am in contact with, want answered is this: Why on earth has the Charity Commission not launched a formal statutory inquiry into the working of the Archbishops’ Council and its safeguarding failings?
“It is not the practice of the Church Commissioners to disclose expenditure on [bishops’ legal] costs”
With you at the helm, the Church of England has become a more dangerous place. It will not, and can not, improve its safeguarding with you at the helm.
