Why does the Church of England struggle to address abuse claims?

The case of Andrew Hindley raises serious questions for the church, after the BBC revealed worrying shortcomings in how it dealt with abuse allegations. Dr Elliott has carried out safeguarding reviews of religious institutions across the world. He says that while Canon Hindley’s case is unusual, serious problems with Church safeguarding have been pointed out many times before.That includes Dr Elliott’s own review of the Church of England published in 2016, in which he was critical of safeguarding practices and urged changes including better ways to intervene and improved independent oversight.One was in 2019, when he was accused of sexually assaulting a young male colleague by touching his genitals. The alleged incident had happened in 2016, but when the complaint was made the case was stopped from going to a Church tribunal hearing because more than 12 months had passed since the alleged incident.After decades of controversies and dozens of survivors speaking out, the Church of England still faces fierce criticism for the way it responds when members of the clergy are accused of abuse.

The LDS Church is growing even more in Idaho. This group is one reason why

“Having friends that really believed in God and had principles kind of attracted us to the church, especially my mom and dad,” a Meridian bishop said. There are a lot of Latino people moving to Southwest Idaho, Sánchez said. In particular, he said he’s seen membership growth in people from Colombia and Venezuela. Some were already LDS, he said, but many have heard about the church but not had an opportunity to participate.There are lots of stereotypes about what Latter-day Saints look like. In the world of politics, for example, many might think of figures such as Sen. Mitt Romney or longtime Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo. However, a prominent Latino member of the church is Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, who did not return a request for comment.Researchers told NBC News and the Salt Lake Tribune that many things attract Latinos to the religion: its values and its gender-specific programs, and the fact the LDS church’s history of migration and exclusion parallels some Latinos’ experiences.Globally, Latino people are joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in greater numbers, and Idaho is no exception to this trend.
