Anglican Church Faces New Abuse Scandal as Senior Bishop Faces Resignation Calls
Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, is under pressure to resign over his handling of a sexual abuse case involving priest David Tudor, who was allowed to continue in ministry despite a history of abuse allegations. Cottrell, soon to temporarily lead the Church, faces criticism for failing to take stronger action during his tenure as Bishop of Chelmsford, where Tudor was banned from being alone with children but still allowed to oversee parishes. The scandal follows an independent investigation that led to the resignation of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby over similar abuse cover-ups.
