Bleeding for Jesus - Virtual Discussion EventAndrew Graystone will discuss his new book, Bleeding for Jesus: John Smyth and the cult of the Iwerne Camps, with presenter, broadcaster and journalist Jeremy Vine.This is a FREE event in association with Darton, Longman &amp; Todd on Monday 15th November between 6-7pm. The login details for this zoom launch event will be confirmed in advance of the event.Bleeding for Jesus is the first book to tell the true story of John Smyth QC, the Christian barrister and moral crusader, who used his role in the church to abuse more than a hundred men and boys in three countries - and the Iwerne Camps movement which inspired and facilitated his crimes. The book also exposes the way that victims who disclosed since 2013 have been re-victimised by the alleged wilful negligence of the Church of England. It reveals how elements of the contemporary church, groomed in Iwerne culture, are still refusing to come to terms with their own role in events, and their responsibility towards victims. The story of John Smyth is a study in spiritual abuse.Andrew Graystone is a writer, broadcaster and journalist who has written and presented over 1000 programmes and talks for BBC Radios 2, 4 and 5Live. He has written for many national publications including The Guardian, Third Way and the Church Times.
