A man who said he was raped as a teenager by a Church of England vicar is calling on four serving Bishops and the Archbishop of York to resign, citing allegations of misconduct.
Matt Ineson said church leaders did not act when he told them, nearly 30 years later, of the alleged abuse in 1984.
He has lodged a complaint and is to protest outside York Minster at a General Synod gathering.
The Church’s national safeguarding team said it took the matter seriously.
The Reverend Trevor Devamanikkam was facing charges of rape but killed himself in June before his case came to court.
