    If someone is sexually predatory towards one woman he will be with others -that IS a safeguarding concern. Sexual assault and harassment is more then an issue with boundaries

    Bishop John has the right to innocence until proven guilty and as it stands he has not been proven guilty. There have been several cases in the UK where women have faced legal action for making false allegations of rape or sexual assault. One of the most high-profile recent cases is that of Eleanor Williams from Cumbria. She was convicted in 2023 of perverting the course of justice after falsely claiming she was raped and trafficked, even injuring herself to support her claims. Her accusations had serious consequences for those she accused, including wrongful imprisonment and suicide attempts. We need to acknowledge that such cases exist, although remain rare, studies suggest that 4% of reported sexual violence cases are found or suspected to be false. We need to allow for the law to do what they are made to do before he is prosecuted by the court of public opinion

      Catholic churches in densely populated area of the UK are full for 4 or 5 masses every Saturday/Sunday and get the usual smattering of elderly, unemployed and shift workers at the 9.30 weekday masses. In less densely populated areas, or areas with fewer catholics, the numbers are reflected in mass turnout.
      I can't speak about Anglican congregations, but you're ill informed about Catholic turnout.

    That “safeguarding bishop” is standing there, in black shirt and white collar, trying to answer the question of whether there needs to be an independent investigative body for the church. And this lady has the audacity to try to act like her role, and that of this department she works in, IS independent!! She answered: “The work I’ve been leading, in terms of independent safeguarding, is about setting up a proper body for scrutiny and audit and complaints.And the possibility of full independence around operational safeguarding. That’s what’s coming to general synod in February. And I’m really glad were taking that so the whole synod can take ownership of that.” So you wanna have “ownership over safeguarding” or do you wanna do the RIGHT thing and hand it over to an independent third party?!!

      He turned a blind eye to hundreds of historic and current allegations of a powerful and wealthy lay leader who enacted beatings and torture on young boys at his summer camps. Both Cottrell and Welby failed to act, though warned back in 2013. They simply moved his “charity,” to Africa, where his abusive behaviour continued and resulted in the deaths of 2 boys. Welby recently resigned but Cottrell did not.

    I cannot accept that any bishop can feel 'utter devastation' when they learn about yet another abuse scandal in the church.

    We all appreciate when these assaults occur, it’s not easy for the victim to report this kind of behaviour.
    The problem continues that the Church overall still thinks it’s untouchable.
    If you apply for a position within a company or charity etc your asked to provide a DBS history - it seems this isn’t the rule here.
    This Bishop should be suspended immediately and be investigated and if guilty brought before the courts.
    How many more sad reports are we going to witness.
