Smyth-linked minister's licence removed after review

A Church of England minister has had his licence to practise removed after being named in a scathing review into the prolific serial abuser John Smyth.

Reverend Nick Stott – a pastor in Cheltenham - had attended camps with Smyth and then helped organise and fund them in Zimbabwe.

The Makin review says Rev Stott was advised not to join Smyth and his mission in Zimbabwe, but he still chose to go.

There is no suggestion he committed any abuse. The Diocese of Gloucester has declined to comment on Rev Stott's behalf.
