Others can see that Lee Gatiss is lying and that the Church Society Council is complicit

Other people can see that the Church Society reports (both “full report” and “executive summary”) are full of inaccuracies and untruths about me and my family. One example is this article by a friend of mine, Nick Howard. He addresses one of the untruths in the report (not already mentioned by me) here: https://nickhoward76.medium.com/church-society-and-the-andreyevs-8e33c21975c6 SinceContinue reading “Others can see that Lee Gatiss is lying and that the Church Society Council is complicit”

Complicit in the lies and bullying

Lee Gatiss has borne false witness throughout his document about me and my family. That much has been demonstrated repeatedly on this blog. For him to continue as a senior leader in ministry without repentance is a disgrace. But the same applies to the other senior leaders who are complicit with him – starting withContinue reading “Complicit in the lies and bullying”

Approval for abusive and misleading Church Society report from FIEC National Director John Stevens and ReNew Chair Rev William Taylor’s right hand man

The Church Society report by Lee Gatiss about the Andreyevs is misleading, inaccurate, defamatory, and a gross abuse of power by senior Christian leaders. Extensive written evidence of this can be found on this website. However, the publication of the Church Society report calls into question not only the integrity of Lee Gatiss and ChurchContinue reading “Approval for abusive and misleading Church Society report from FIEC National Director John Stevens and ReNew Chair Rev William Taylor’s right hand man”

Dodgy data and fiddled figures in the Church Society report by Lee Gatiss

In the document written about my husband and me by Lee Gatiss for Church Society, the (now resigned) Churchwardens ‘report’ that during my husband’s time as vicar here, the electoral roll and church attendance shrank massively. However, the electoral roll and attendance figures quoted in the Church Society report are highly misleading. As Lee GatissContinue reading “Dodgy data and fiddled figures in the Church Society report by Lee Gatiss”

‘The Churchwardens “report” that…’

I have been hesitant to write this blog post. This is because, over the past few years, I have tried as much as possible not to talk about particular individuals in the church at Stapenhill, despite the difficulty it has caused in telling our story. I have where possible spoken of ‘the group who bulliedContinue reading “‘The Churchwardens “report” that…’”

Fabricated ‘facts’ in the Lee Gatiss Church Society report

Both Church Society’s ‘full’ report about my husband and I and the ‘Executive Summary’ contain the false accusation of my husband’s supposed ‘inability to work with people’. This accusation comes from a letter written about my husband ‘to the Bishop of Derby (copying in the Archdeacon of Derby, the Bishop of Maidstone, and the DirectorContinue reading “Fabricated ‘facts’ in the Lee Gatiss Church Society report”

Why did the Church of England ask us to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?

The Archbishop of Canterbury confirmed recently that the Church of England would not use Non Disclosure Agreements, but they seem alive and well in the form of Confidentiality Clauses. In January 2021, my vicar husband was asked by the Bishop of Derby to sign a NDA after being bullied out of St Peter’s Stapenhill byContinue reading “Why did the Church of England ask us to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?”
