One of the most respected clerics from the Church of England, George Bell, a former bishop of Chichester, whose memory is celebrated with an annual fest day on 3rd October, is alleged to have been a child abuser.
George Bell was one of the first Christian leaders to have berated Nazism in the 1930s. He passed away in 1958.
Almost 6 decades later, it is alleged that the Church has revealed that there is evidence that Bell had committed “serious sexual offences” against a young child, in the 1940s and 50s.
His alleged victory who is now over 70 years old and remains anonymous, received compensation and an apology from the Church.
