Dear Mr Edwards,

We write this letter to you as a fraternity of brothers and sisters in Christ, because we believe you serve, or at least want to serve, our Lord and our Saviour, Jesus Christ. This is a letter of heartfelt appeal, compassion and love. We do not write to condemn or vilify you, nor do we write to ignore your sins, but to encourage you as a fellow sinner to be truly atoned, sanctified and justified only by Jesus Christ.  

The darkness of this world, and the paths it can lead us down, can go to levels of darkness we never thought possible, especially when we are engulfed with power, wealth, resources and influence, as you have been (1 Peter 5:8). Many of us at Christian Vigil International have been abused ourselves as children in a variety of ways that have left much trauma for years. We increasingly strive to protect children from any form of harm, inside our homes and outside our homes. What you have been involved in is a violation of the sanctity and the preciousness of children, yet even still we know that the Lord Jesus Christ can forgive you through atonement, through repentance, penitence and cleanse you, Mr Edwards. This world will build you up to be a god, and then destroy you and damn you as a devil. Only Christ, through His merciful grace, can look us in the eye, love us through his sacrifice, and cleanse us in His righteousness to stand before Our Father, a new creation. 

So Mr Edwards, we want you to know that we are praying for your repentance and salvation, not as though we are holier or better than you. As the Word of God clearly states, “There is no one righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:11). We appeal to you to truly seek the love and redemption of Christ. More than that, we want to support you in your redemption if that is what you choose. We know that the BBC and the media industry as a whole is rife with child abuse, child trafficking and child sacrifice. We know it is a den of satanic, anti-Christ vipers. Yet we also know there are those few individuals who want to use the media for good, for the protection and love of children. It is our earnest hope that you might become an ambassador for bringing about true change in the media where children can be safe, as much as possible, until the perfection of the Kingdom of God.

This is why we are establishing Atonement International, to provide a global platform for men and women like yourself to truly atone. Society, the press, the BBC, governments, will cast out people like you, throw you to the scrap, vilify you and pin everything on those like you, as if there is no responsibility, complicity or guilt from them. Shame on them, we are all complicit and must all atone, for we all need Christ. Atonement International is an opportunity for people like you and us to transform our worst sins in penitence and contrition, to make those wrongs right and serve those who we have once harmed, and many others like them. 

We are also praying for your ex-wife Vicky and your children. We can only imagine the torment and the stigma they will be carrying and the burden of trying to live their lives without other people trying to pigeon-hole them… we are also here to support them if ever they choose, to build their lives and careers without the satanic harassment of the press or the judgement of cynical and self-righteous members of the public. 

Atonement does not mean condonement. And while we cannot condone what you have done Mr Edwards, we must also look to the environment you were held in; the BBC. There is an evidentially satanic, toxic culture at this institution that has deceived the public for over 100 years. Even its own founder, John Reith, was himself romantically and sexually involved with minors. We know that you are not the “bad egg” that the BBC wants us to believe you are. We know that Jimmy Savile did not act alone. We know that the 80+ charges of child sexual abuse in the last 10 years alone, point to the evil and coverups at the BBC, that truly need to be held accountable. While the Director General Tim Davie may have felt he was ”let down” by you, frankly, we believe firmly that it is he, and the board of directors, who have let you down, as well as letting down the entire BBC and the British public, for the culture they have built and maintained. For that very same reason we call them all to repent, to turn to our Lord, and finally start to bring about true, grass-roots regeneration, reform and transformation at the BBC. 

To add credence to the above, every single week for the last 5 months, we have been prayerfully, peacefully demonstrating outside the BBC premises in London and Birmingham, to call out, not just the chronic abuse of children, but the chronic, dark, evil covering up of this abuse. Most prominently we are appealing to one BBC journalist, Catrin Nye, to repent for her lies and destruction she is causing. We will never stop until the truth does come out, and true compensation and reform for the BBC’s victims is upheld.

In line with that Mr Edwards, we are 100% serious about supporting you to atone, to reform, and to use your personal experiences, to protect and keep safe, many, many children from those in positions of worldly power who seek to prey on them. In the meantime we will continue to pray for you, for your family, for the BBC and for all of its victims, in the hope of Christ’s return.

“This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practise the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:5-9

From your brothers and sisters in Christ,

The fellowship of Christian Vigil International
