Post relating to Christ Church Oxford taken down

Stephen's Blog

The post relating to Christ Church Oxford has been temporarily taken down. I have received various comments including some Kate Wood.

I am carefully checking the piece in the light of these comments and will publish a revised version in due course.

About Stephen Parsons

Stephen is a retired Anglican priest living at present in Cumbria. He has taken a special interest in the issues around health and healing in the Church but also when the Church is a place of harm and abuse. He has published books on both these issues and is at present particularly interested in understanding how power works at every level in the Church. He is always interested in making contact with others who are concerned with these issues.

  2. Thank you Stephen for this comment. When I read it, there seemed to be a lot of ‘thin ice’ that you were bravely treading on. As a great admirer of Martyn, the truth does need to come out and the Augean stables of Christ Church cleansed.

  6. When you have checked Stephen, please publish the facts you can prove. When I am in position to, I hope to do the same. Those who are in sympathy with your blog know and often can prove misconduct and/or disreputable actions by those deputised to deal appropriately with safeguarding issues. This, of course includes persecuting the innocent as well as protecting the guilty. It is with great sadness that I too can report that those at the highest levels are knowingly and deliberately allowing misconduct to continue even now. This gives me no hope that Meg Munn will be able to say that churches are safe places any time soon. The Church hierarchy are forcing us to use whatever legitimate tactics we can to remove this egregious sin. Thank you for your bravery. Those in the know respect your moderation and just dealings. From the reaction to your blog people are taking note. If those at the higher levels redirected their efforts and time to dealing justly with those clearly guilty of misconduct of whatever kind in relation to safeguarding, we would be closer to Meg Munn being able to say parishioners are as safe in their churches as they are in secular organisations.

  8. What you are concerned about re Christchurch needs to be said and listened to. Thank you so much Stephen
