Last
month, I moved out of a residential Christian community attached to a
Methodist church in London. I moved for several reasons. One was the way
that the church had handled an allegation of sexual abuse.
The victim in that case was interviewed as part of the Methodist church’s Past Cases Review into abuse allegations. She had no advance notice of Thursday’s announcement by the Methodist church, which has formally apologised for 1,885 cases of abuse over the past 60 years. Despite media references to “historical abuse”, some of the cases are very recent.
