Former Durham pastor leaves US role after 16 months

Saddler Street, Durham

Some may find the content of this article distressing.

Former Christchurch Durham pastor Tony Jones has resigned from his US pastorate shortly after being handed a petition calling for his removal. He was in post for just 16 months – and several other church leaders resigned shortly after as well.

It is the latest development in the long-running story around Jones, who left Christchurch Durham (CCD) – an independent Anglican church – at the end of 2021: this was followed by several allegations of misconduct, bullying and financial irregularities.
