Present day

In 2019, reports emerged that Jonathan Fletcher, who had been the church's minister from 1982 until his retirement in 2012, had committed acts of abusive behaviour. [3] [4] The church created a website called "Walking With" to support the victims, [5] and commissioned an independent review from safeguarding charity thirtyone:eight. [6]

As it rejects the ordination/leadership of women, the church receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Ebbsfleet (currently Rob Munro). [7]
