"I am appalled at this perversion of the process of a fair trial, and the grotesque inversion of justice"

“BISHOP BELL” - A POEM BY BRIAN WORSFOLD OF CHICHESTER

https://richardwsymonds.wordpress.com/2016/07/27/780/

I raise my glass to Bishop Bell
Is he really now in hell?
And if it be so then I pray,
That I may join him there one day!
For then eternity would pass
Much quicker, and we’d raise a glass
And raise it to the place
Where those who never sinned
Sit smug and never look within.
Does his life’s work now count for nought?
It seems this now is what we’re taught.
God bless the Bishop now I say
I’ll sing his praises every day.

"THINKING ANGLICAN" THOUGHTS - AND COMMENTS

..."Carol" isn't a child; she's a grown woman who [has] lived longer than many posting here; a woman who's chosen, of her own free will, and acting under legal advice, to sue the church. She knowingly opened her accusation to legal scrutiny.
Since she was granted (wrongly, in my view) anonymity, that should be respected, but the substance of her claim should be released with her name redacted. Yes, there's some small risk her name would get out, but if it'd gone to trial, that would've happened anyway: the gag order applies only to the press, not the court or the public gallery. Currently, it's being used to hide the church's actions from scrutiny.

IS THE ACCOUNT OF 'CAROL' CONSISTENT WITH THE FACTS? - THE GEORGE BELL GROUP

It is only the fact that 'Carol' herself chose to describe aspects of her alleged abuse in an interview given to the Brighton Argus published on 3 February 2016 that allows outsiders to judge any part of the truth of her account....The account published in the Argus headlined Carol’s words: “My strongest memory is seeing this figure all in black standing on a stair, waiting”.....
