A sex abuse survivor has accused senior clergy in the Church of
England of repeated attempts to prevent him from sharing his story.
Graham Sawyer was the victim of sustained abuse by Bishop Peter Ball, former Bishop of Lewes and Bishop of Gloucester, during the 1970s and early 1980s. In a fringe meeting of General Synod on Tuesday night, Sawyer said he experienced "enduring harassment, vilification and intimidation" from senior clergy when he tried to speak about his experiences.
