Evangelical leaders face CofE discipline

Keith Makin

Prominent evangelical church leaders are among those facing disciplinary action after the Makin Review, the Church of England says.

Makin's report looked into abuse carried out by late QC John Smyth, and examined questions of who knew about it at different times, and what action they did or did not take.

Now Tim Hastie-Smith, Andrew Cornes and Roger Combes are some of those who will undergo a Clergy Discipline Measure (CDM) - a legal process involving an investigation into potential misconduct.
