Justin Welby, a 🧵
Q. Are you going to resign?
A. It would only be a matter of resignation if I knew or had grounds for suspicion about Smyth before 2013.

If they can't bring themselves to say "our" former vicar was an abuser and they won't offer "our" support to survivors, then what lessons have been learnt? My question is not, primarily, a safeguarding matter but a theological one.

An Illinois judge found that pastor and author Dane Ortlund (@daneortlund) fired an employee in retaliation after she raised concerns about gender bias.
The ruling recommends damages of approx. $89,000 be awarded to Emily Hyland (@EKHyland) and says @NaperPres church leaders failed to follow their own discrimination policy — highlighting broader concerns about asymmetric accountability in ministry workplaces.

I've had my comments removed and now been blocked by the Ortlund men on FB and Insta for asking questions like the attached about @daneortlund. They are systematically deleting any negative comments or questions. Not sure how this is a demonstration of transparency

"There was an avalanche of evidence against Jonathan Fletcher. As with John Smyth, victims’ complaints were suppressed by a self-congratulating subculture that has never repented, and so has never changed." Totally true & totally unacceptable in both cases share.google/RXiM742ww3sOzPg… – at Polruan, England

Six months ago today, the Makin Review was published. But still no one held to account, implementation of recommendations: nada. Yet another 6 months goes by without truth, justice and real change @cathynewman @JanetEastham @AndrewGraystone @BirkenheadBish

J Welby now on BBC1 to @bbclaurak “I have said sorry to the ones who wanted to meet me.” Justin, you and I spent 90 mins talking about my abuse by Smyth in December. Not once did you say sorry. You didn’t ask me how I was. You implied you were the victim. This is v all sad 😢

We need an effective #MandatoryReporting law- not a watered down version as the government now proposes. My Thunderer column today (actually co written with @mandatenow & @SeenandheardUK , but only one author name permitted)
