the archbishop of canterbury is tonight still in post, but for how much longer? and this is the year that will be the hottest on record, according to the united nations at cop 29. will donald trump's plan to pull the us out of climate agreements threaten the world's attempts to stop further warming? welcome to newsnight. tonight we're bringing you an interview with an abuse survivor who is calling onjustin welby, the archbishop of canterbury, to resign because mr welby knew about horrific
10:33 pm
abuse allegations involving a church of england lay reader back in 2013 — but the church failed to formally report him to the police. one bishop, the bishop of newcastle, has also today called for mr welby to quit, saying the church will lose credibility if mr welby stays as head of it. this scandal involves a man called john smyth, who was described in a report last week as a sadistic abuser and the most prolific abuser associated with the church of england of boys and young men from the mid �*70s to his death in 2018, in three different countries — the uk, zimbabwe and south africa — involving as many as 130 boys and young men. we are told you beat young men until they bled, why did you do that? in 2017, channel 4 exposed the scale ofjohn smyth's abuse and tried to ask him questions. this is some of the testimony from survivors of smyth's abuse that last week's report highlighted.
10:34 pm
"i had a sense that each cane stroke had left its own mark on my body, however when i was beaten more than 30, or even as much as 100 times, there was no sense of any individual stroke marks, just a bloody mess. i began to get the feeling that i will always need beating, because i will never be rid of this stuff. i remember thinking he's going to kill me. i was that scared." last week's report concluded that smyth could and should have been formally reported to the police in the uk and the authorities in south africa by church officers, including justin welby back in 2013. had that been done, on the balance of probablities the report said, smyth could have been brought to justice at a much earlier point. mr welby told channel 4 news last week he wouldn't step down. i have given it a lot of thought, i've taken advice as recently as this morning from senior colleagues, and, no, i'm not going to resign for this.
10:35 pm
if i'd known before 2013 or had grounds for suspicion, that would be a resigning matter. newsnight asked the archbishop of canterbury for an interview tonight and we were told he isn't currently available. we contacted a number of church of england bishops to ask for an interview about whetherjustin welby should resign or not — including the bishop of sheffield — we had no response; the bishop of edmundsbury & ipswich — we had no response; the bishop of the isle of man — we had no response; the bishop of st albans — we had no response. the bishop of southwark we were told is recovering after surgery and �*may provide a written statement later�*. the bishop of salisbury is on leave and not available. the acting bishop of worcester and dudley said they didn't want to comment publicly. the bishop of leeds we were told would get back to us. the bishop of winchester — no comment. the bishop of chichester — no comment.
10:36 pm
the bishop of bath & wells told us in a statment, "creating a culture of safeguarding that genuinely supports victims and prevents harm is a shared responsibility that extends to each of us."; and the bishop of guildford who himself was abused by smyth isn't doing media interviews. one man who did want to speak to us is a survivor of the physical abuse he was subjected to by smyth in the 1980s. mark stibbe told us how symth breached his trust. well, i think that one of the main ways in which he did that was by inviting me and other friends of mine over to his house just outside winchester. and i think it was in that kind of homely environment and a family atmosphere that, subjected to an awful lot of good hospitality, i began to trust that he was somebody that i could, i could confide in. and when did he begin
10:37 pm
to abuse that trust? well, ithink, you know, right from the word go from 1977, when i first kind of found faith in god, um, john smyth came into my world. and for the next few years, i didn't realise the degree to which he was actually grooming me and preparing me for the moment when he was actually going to abuse me. and now, looking back, obviously knowing a lot more about the process of abuse, i can see all the different moments along the way in which he developed this hold over me through coercive and controlling religious language, until the point where he led me up, literally up his garden path at his house outside winchester, to a shed which had been a specially
10:38 pm
soundproofed and built for his abuses. and he subjected me to a terrible assault. he basically caned me so many times that i thought i was going to die. can i ask if you bled? yes, idid. and one of the things you know i will never forget is the fact that in that shed there wasn't very much. but what there was was very telling. there was a black leather bound bible and there were adult nappies. and the contrast between these two things, a book that should be associated with love and kindness, and these nappies that were associated with tending to criminally inflicted wounds. the contrast between these two things strikes me, even to this day, as being just a terrible paradox. but he wasn't a teacher
10:39 pm
at your school, was he? how was he able to have access to you all, to be able to invite you to his home? well, at that time there was something called the christian forum at winchester college, and this was a group of boys which steadily grew in number. in fact, actually towards the end of my time, it was quite dramatically growing in numbers. and that christian forum was run by a maths teacher who is a christian teacher. and he invited this chap, thisjohn smyth, into this christian forum group to give talks. and he through that access began to develop relationships with the vulnerable young people like myself, who are missing their home, missing their parents, and who were therefore extremely kind of susceptible to parental approaches.
10:40 pm
what impact, mark, has this physical abuse, what impact did it have on you then? what did it continue to have on you through your adult life? i think that it had an immense impact on me, the actual physical abuse that i suffered. i was paralysed with fear. i'd call it terror and that was very traumatising indeed. it wasn't just the physical violence, it was the psychological terror that went with it. but it wasn'tjust my own suffering. i remember, and i've talked about this frequently, i remember my best friend at school who was also a smyth victim, who just before his 21st birthday, he was promised byjohn smyth as a special birthday present that he was going to have a huge number of lashings in this birthday beating. and my friend, in order to evade this tormenting experience, tried to commit suicide and almost went through it. and when he was asked in hospital
10:41 pm
who he wanted to come and visit him, he mentioned my name. so i went on a train to norwich, the norfolk and norwich hospital. when i saw him, i was so utterly appalled by what i saw of my friend. he'd shaved all his hair off, he had bandages around his wrists, and i've never really recovered from that memory. i doubt if i ever will. and i think the reason i'm speaking out now, and the sole reason i'm speaking out now and did in 2017, is because i want to see justice for friends like that, and i have other friends that i'm still in regular contact with in the survivor group who have suffered immense mental torment, mental health problems, marital breakdowns and divorces, all manner of traumas. and this is the shockwaves, if you will, ofjohn smyth's abuses. as you know, justin welby, the archbishop of canterbury, has said he will not resign over
10:42 pm
this despite knowing at least as far back as 2013, about smyth's prolific abuse and failing to formally tell the police. what's your message to justin welby tonight? i honestly don't believe that justin welby can continue. i don't believe that his position is tenable, and i would also apply that to the bishops that knew and did nothing, and the senior clergy of the church of england that knew and did nothing. i think their positions are also untenable. i think there needs to be a clean sweep of the hierarchy of the c of e, and i think new people need to be put in position. people like the bishop of newcastle, who has spoken out so courageously today, those people who clearly have integrity and intentionality when it comes to protecting the vulnerable need to be the people in positions of authority. sojustin welby and all those senior clergy that did nothing but knew what was going on, they need to stand down.
10:43 pm
they need to be replaced by people who have a proven passion for this. mark stibbe, thank you very much for talking to newsnight this evening and to our audience. we are very grateful for your time. thank you. that was mark stibbe. we asked winchester college to respond to our interview, and they said they conducted an independent review in january 2022 so wouldn't comment any further. the makin report had some strong criticism of the church of england hierarchy and justin welby himself. it said, "john smyth could and should have been reported to the police in 2013. john smyth could have been brought to justice and any abuse he was committing in south africa discovered and stopped." "it was unlikely thatjustin welby would have had no knowledge of the concerns regarding john smyth in the 1980s in the uk. he may not have known of the extreme seriousness of the abuse, but it is most probable that he would have had at least a level of knowledge thatjohn smyth was of some concern." in 2017, justin welby
10:44 pm
said, "we were in rapid touch with the survivors." this is not correct. there was a very considerable delay in establishing any contacts and in setting up a helpline. early promises made byjustin welby to meet with the victims were not honoured." let's talk now to andrew graystone, whose book "bleeding forjesus" tells the story ofjohn smyth's crimes. theologian dr ian paul, who sits on the archbishop's council, which is the church of england's central executive body and has launched a petition calling forjustin welby to resign, and anne atkins, writer and novelist, who was the first journalist to look into smyth's abuse. and of course nick is here. well, lovely. and, you just heard a survivor saying we need a clean sweep of the hierarchy in the church of england, do you agree? that testimony _ of england, do you agree? that testimony was _ of england, do you agree? that testimony was very _ of england, do you agree? twat testimony was very powerful and i am very grateful to mark. it is a brave thing to do and important to do. i
