A clergyman claims he was blackballed by the Church of England after reporting sexual abuse by a priest.
John Skinner said he told the Bishop of Durham about Granville Gibson in the early 1980s but was told not to gossip.
The church said Father Skinner s sense of injustice was understandable but a culture of cover-up had ended.
Fr Skinner, who has waived his right to anonymity, told the BBC he was 27 and a curate at St Clare s in Newton Aycliffe when Gibson, the church s priest, indecently assaulted him.
