A much-anticipated ‘lessons-learnt’ review into the activities of former church minister, Jonathan Fletcher, will be published in September.
The independent Christian safeguarding charity, Thirtyone:eight, has been carrying out the review.
Fletcher, an influential evangelical, was last year said to have been involved in physical beatings, massages and other activities which he called ‘light-hearted forfeits’ – a claim dismissed by other evangelicals, including Melvin Tinker and Pete Sanlon. Justin Humphreys, chief executive of Thirtyone:eight, has now withdrawn as a speaker at the Anglican evangelical ReNew Conference on 14 September, saying it would cause victims further distress.
