I’m not usually one to share links, but my old school’s Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul’s School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren’t his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it’s the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn’t see it that way and sacked him.
I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone’s names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I’ve heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn’t deserve this.
Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and the Anglican Schools Commission are probably the best ways that you can help!
Thanks for Reading!

@SteveTech tells you what the church’s priorities really are :(
Yeah, it does.
