Trevor Phillips speaks to Bishop of London Dame Sarah Mullaly for the first time since the resignation of Justin Welby.
The Church of England’s Synod will be debating and voting on new safeguarding measures in the wake of multiple scandals and hundreds of new cases of historical abuse. “[Over] the last three or four months, it has become apparent to people the shocking abuse within the church. And my heart goes out to the victims and to the survivors,” Dame Sarah said. “I’m very conscious of, one, the bravery of them coming forward, but also the shocking abuse that occurred to them and the way in which the church failed to address it properly. And it means that we all have to, in terms of apologising to them, we all have to do something.”
