Christopher Brain, who led the progressive Nine O-Clock Service (NOS) in Sheffield, is accused of dominating and sexually assaulting numerous women from his congregation.
Mark Stibbe, a victim of John Smyth and an advocate for change, stated, 'He didn't do the right thing. He should have made sure the abuse was properly reported to the authorities.' This statement reflects the deep disappointment felt by abuse survivors regarding the leadership response to such critical issues.
