The Archbishops of York and Canterbury have expressed their remorse for the Church's 'shameful' actions ahead of the publication of a report into child sex abuse tomorrow. Ahead of its release, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York shared an open letter apologising for the Church's actions. The letter also expressed the Church's desire to support any further victims who come forward following the report's publication. The Church faced criticism over its handling of the claims against Ball, something addressed by the Archbishops' open letter. In September the Church of England set up a multi-million-pound compensation fund designed to funnel money to victims of historic sex abuse by bishops, clergy and lay church workers.
