He's been called the Pope of Evangelical Conservatism.

Jonathan Fletcher also is a serial abuser who subjected dozens of young men to ice baths,

naked beatings, and sex acts according to a newly released report.

Welcome to the Roy's Report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the

church. I'm Julie Roy's. And joining me today is Lee Fernie. Lee is the first survivor of Jonathan

Fletcher's horrific abuse to go public. And as you'll hear from Lee in the next hour, Fletcher groomed

and abused young men who attended his prominent church in Wimbledon, England, for 30 years.

Fletcher also reportedly abused youth at evangelical camps designed to train boys and young men from elite schools to be future leaders.

Some of those who attended these camps run by what was called the You Earned Trust include the late theologian John Stott, Justin Welby,

the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Nikki Gumble, pioneer of the popular Alpha course.

But it isn't just Fletcher, whose abuse is now being confirmed. John Smythe, head of the U-Earned,

also abused young men, dating back to the 1970s and 80s. Yet sadly, when Smy's abuse was

uncovered, it wasn't reported to police. Instead, the U-Wern Trust handled the matter in-house

and then sent Smythe to Africa where he continued his abuse. This story, which Fernie calls

the mother of all abuse stories, is rocking the Church of England.

It's also sending shockwaves through the Anglican community in the U.S. and around the world,

and it has many parallels to the recently exposed Ravi Zacharias sex abuse scandal.

In the next hour, we'll explore this tragic story in detail and discuss the culture that allow both Fletcher's

and Smyce abuse to continue for so long. We'll also discuss solutions and next steps, so I think

this is going to be an extremely important podcast. But before I dive into my discussion with Lee,

I'd like to thank my sponsors, Judson University, and Marquart of Barrington.

I'm so grateful to partner with my friends at Judson University. Judson is a top-ranked Christian
