The Church of England has appointed an independent panel to review
its handling of the case of Peter Ball, the former bishop of Lewes and
Gloucester who was jailed for sex abuse offences, and to help it “learn
from its errors”.
The review, which will report to the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, within a year, is to examine what information was in the church’s possession concerning Ball, and when; and whether the church’s response was appropriate and complied with the law.
