Written with the full support and testimony of many of his victims, Bleeding for Jesus exposes the shocking story of John Smyth QC, who used his role in the Church to abuse more than a hundred men and boys in three countries, and the Iwerne Camps movement which inspired and facilitated his crimes, casting a dark shadow over its aim to recruit and disciple ' the best boys from the best schools' (including John Stott, Nicky Gumbel and the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby) and place them in positions of political and religious leadership. The book also includes a comprehensive biography of Rev Eric Nash, known as ' Bash' , founder of the Iwerne Camps and mentor to Smyth. Journalist and broadcaster Andrew Graystone' s investigation exposes the way that Smyth' s victims have been re-victimised by the wilful negligence of the Church of England. It reveals how elements of the contemporary church, schooled in Iwerne culture, are still refusing to come to terms with their own role in events, and their responsibility towards victims. The story of John Smyth is a study in spiritual abuse.
