Iwerne Camps

Some of the 10 clergy, including George Carey, the 103rd Archbishop of Canterbury, say they did not receive information about John Smyth’s abuses.

David Fletcher, who died in January 2022, is accused of being “inappropriately tactile” with women and girls.

In 30 years as vicar of Emmanuel Church Wimbledon, the Rev. Jonathan Fletcher, now 78, is alleged to have engaged in naked beatings, swimming, and massages, as well as other sexual misconduct, and bullying and "spiritual abuse." Fletcher, who played a prominent role in the conservative evangelical movement, was a leader of the since-closed Iwerne Camp, a Christian camp that catered to participants from top boarding schools.

The Church of England's National Safeguarding Team is reviewing a charge that Archbishop Justin Welby failed to follow up on accusations of abuse lodged against his former mentor, evangelical camp leader John Smyth.
