Bishop of Liverpool John Perumbalath rejects the allegations of sexual attack that has raised two women, Informed on Wednesday AFP. The accusations appeared shortly after the scandal of sexual abuse in the Anglican Church, for which the Archbishop of Canterbury resigned Justin Welby.

One of the women of the bishop accused of kissing her without his consent, the other woman testified of sexual harassmentsaid Channel 4 News. Perumbalath refused the accusations. He said they were related to meetings that took place in public places and in the company of other people. “Although I don’t believe I did something wrong, I have gained a lesson how my actions can perceive others“Bishop added.

AFP reported that the successor after Welby, who announced his resignation in November 2024, would not be appointed until the end of this year. Welby’s temporary successor, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell, also faces challenges for resignation. His critics claim that he incorrectly addressed the case of sexual abuse when he was a bishop in Chelmsford in southeastern England.

Welby resigned from the archbishop of Canterbury and the spiritual leader of the Anglican Church after finding an independent investigation that “could and had” to the authorities in 2013 to report the case of the most extensive abuse and sexual abuse in the Church of Anglican.

It is a case of lawyer John Smyth, who in the 1970s and 80s as a volunteer co -organized children’s church camps in the United Kingdom and later in Africa. According to the report known as Makin Review, he was responsible for abuse of up to 130 boys and young men.

The investigation of the authors of the report under the leadership of Keith Makin concluded that the Anglican Church covered “traumatic physical, sexual, psychological and spiritual attacks” for several decades in Britain, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
