Church investigating Archbishop's handling of abuse complaints christiantoday.com

The Church of England is investigating the Archbishop of Canterbury's handling of allegations of abuse by the late John Smyth QC.

Smyth died in 2018, shortly after a Channel 4 News exposé into the sadistic abuse of young men groomed at Iwerne Camps, run by the trust he chaired, in the 1970s.

Archbishop Justin Welby worked at the evangelical holiday camps as a dormitory officer but has denied knowing about the abuse.

Following a report on Channel 4 News on Monday night, the Church confirmed that it had received a formal complaint against Welby in connection with Smyth.
