Nicola Laver interviews the South American bishop who came to the UK on a mission which has unfolded in unexpected ways
An exodus of evangelicals from the Free Church of England (FCE) continues against the backdrop of serious fraud allegations and a culture of secrecy against its senior leadership. Both the police and the charity regulator are investigating a range of allegations against Bishop Primus John Fenwick, who is resisting calls to resign.
Meanwhile, the path ahead for ministers left picking up the pieces is far from clear. Before ministers started to quit, around 20 FCE congregations could be found across England, 25 in South America, and a few elsewhere. The FCE is an Anglican breakaway from the Church of England which dates back to the 19th century.
