The son of former Archishop of Canterbury George Carey has attacked Church of England bishops for failing to support his father, who he said is the victim of “changing attitudes”.

Last month the Gibb report into sexual abuse by paedophile bishop Peter Ball found that Carey was among church figures who had “colluded” with the disgraced bishop.

Following the publication of the report he was asked to step down from his role as an honorary assistant bishop in the diocese of Oxford.

His son Andrew Carey, a Christian campaigner and writer, said in his column in the Church of England newspaper that he was “angry and dismayed” at what had happened to his father.
