Church Society director has ‘total support’ of the organisation after review clears him of dishonesty

Lee Gatiss

Church Society director Lee Gatiss has been exonerated in relation to allegations of dishonesty in the midst of accusations of antisemitism against the organisation.

Gatiss has ‘the full confidence and total support of Church Society’s council and staff,’ the group added. The announcement came following allegations made against Church Society (CS) recently.

One allegation resolved

A statement from CS Chairman Andrew Towner said: ‘One of those allegations was of dishonesty against our Director, Lee Gatiss. We are pleased that this has now been resolved. Following our own review, Church Society Council consider that the complainants, Nick Howard and James Mendelsohn, have not provided compelling evidence to substantiate their accusations of dishonesty. The complainants have responded to indicate that they do not wish for an independent third-party review, which we offered to commission.’
