The Archbishop of Canterbury is urging Christians to put aside questions over sexuality and 'reimagine Britain' in the face of 'a fascist tradition of politics'.
John Smyth QC, accused of abusing boys at Christian youth camps, continued his abuse after he fled to Zimbabwe, according to an ongoing investigation by Channel 4.
An abuse victim who suffered years of savage beatings at the hands of John Smyth, a Christian youth camp leader, has written an open letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury outlining the scale at which Smyth's activities were ignored and covered up by several organisations including the Church.
A senior Church of England bishop has stated that people who attended John Smyth's summer camps would have known each other and talked about it. The Archbishop of Canterbury, a dormitory officer at the camps in the late 1970s, has insisted he was not part of the inner circle of friends and no-one discussed any allegations of abuse with him.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has said the Church of England has not "reached the end of the road" over its position on gay marriage, raising the possibility of future change to doctrine.
The Archbishop of Canterbury would be "very glad" to meet Donald Trump and try and "persuade him to change his views" if the US president came to the UK on a state visit.
