Vicar’s resignation – due to a web based campaign?

The BBC and local press in England and Ireland reported that “a Norfolk vicar has resigned due to “a campaign focused on a matter from his past”. The vicar was former C of I cleric, Rev Willi Stewart. “Dialogue Ireland” describes itself as “an independent trust that works to promote awareness and understanding of New Religious Movements and cultism in Ireland.”  The Director of Dialogue Ireland is Mike Garde.

CNI cannot presume that Dialogue Ireland is the web site which the BBC and the Diocese of Norwich have referred to. For the convenience of CNI readers, a series of links to that site is included below. These may enable further reflection.
