The Archbishop of York has told victims of sexual abuse by predatory clergy that he is “deeply ashamed” of the Church of England’s failures to protect vulnerable children.

Dr John Sentamu has written to a number of men who were abused as children by the Very Rev Robert Waddington, the former dean of Manchester Cathedral, who preyed on schoolboys in Britain and Australia over a 60-year period.
