UPDATED July 14, 2021: A third-party investigation into claims that leaders in the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) mishandled allegations of sexual abuse and assault has been handed over to a Provincial Response Team, the denomination’s archbishop announced.
“A Provincial Response Team is being formed by Provincial leaders to take oversight of this process, committed to act with thorough professionalism and with deep care for the survivors,” said ACNA archbishop Foley Beach in a July 10 letter. “This team will include diverse representation of women and men with experience in these areas. We are prayerful and hopeful that this will help bring forth truth and confidence so healing and restoration can be facilitated.”
Beach explained that he had received and granted a formal request from the Bishop’s Council of the Diocese of the Upper Midwest for the ACNA to oversee the investigation and also to review the leadership structures of the Upper Midwest diocese, where the allegations are concerned. Read More
