Article Abstract:
The Church of England is shortly to receive a claim from a 43-year-old woman who was abused by a chaplain in the mid-1980s. In a similar case, the Roman Catholic Church is facing a claim for compensation from a nun, Sister Yvonne Macs, who was sexually abused by a priest in 1985. These two cases will cause considerable embarrassment for both churches, which have been the subject of considerable scandal already over recent months.
