OTTAWA – Anglican priest Rev. Wayne Lynch, convicted of indecent assault in 1999 for incidents that occurred in the ’70s, resigned from a church Thursday that recently allowed him to join in eucharist celebrations.
Lynch’s victim said Thursday he’s relieved by the resignation but he can’t understand why he wasn’t involved in the decision to bring the priest to Annapolis Royal’s St. Luke’s Anglican Parish in the first place.
Glenn Johnson, who was sexually assaulted by Lynch when he was 14 years old, says the decision to give restricted duties to Lynch without any consultation with him doesn’t make sense.
