Church abuse scandal: next Archbishop already facing calls to quit over inaction

The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell is facing renewed calls to quit, just three weeks before he takes over as de facto leader of the Church of England.

In his previous job in the diocese of Chelmsford, Archbishop Stephen allowed a priest to remain in post despite knowing of multiple sexual assault allegations against him. He even made the man in question, David Tudor, an honorary canon of Chelmsford Cathedral.

We’ve been hearing from one of Tudor’s alleged victims, who says her world fell apart when she was sexually assaulted as a teenager.
