Priests and parishioners have been urged to act as the eyes of the community by looking for child abusers within the clergy.
The Acting Bishop of Chichester, the Right Reverend Mark Sowerby, has written to members of the clergy across the county warning them they need to be vigilant and help “root out” offenders.
His letter follows the arrests of two former Church of England priests on suspicion of sexually abusing young people between the 1960s and 1980s.
The letter, which he addressed to “brothers and sisters in Christ”, has also been read out to congregations at churches across Sussex.
