An abuse survivor who is now a bishop says new resources from the Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) produced after recent scandals should ‘help churches engage’ with the issue.

Published in the wake of revelations about Jonathan Fletcher and Steve Timmis, the resources include a film, some ‘culture review questions’ and a ‘liturgy of lament’ – all of which can be found on the CEEC website.

However while some have welcomed the new resources, others have raised questions about whether they get to the heart of some key issues.
