Evangelical minister back

An evangelical vicar has had his suspension for ministry lifted after five weeks.

The Revd Stephen Kuhrt, vicar of Christ Church, New Malden was suspended in June this year after he disclosed confidential safeguarding information with a small group of advisors. He did so after blowing the whistle on alleged mishandling of historic safeguarding issues. He admitted failing to redact the names of individuals in the documentation, for which he accepted rebuke and injunction.

Although the suspension was lifted on 29 July by the Bishop of Southwark, church wardens said in a statement that ‘within minutes’ of the lifting of Kuhrt’s suspension, there was ‘a demand that we restart a review of safeguarding in our parish on terms that increase our concerns about both its nature and its purpose’.
