Philippa Barnes

survivor

Philippa Barnes is a former member of the Jesus Fellowship, a controversial Christian community in the UK known for its strict rules and communal living. She grew up in the fellowship, where she experienced a mix of freedom and oppression, and later became a key figure in exposing the abuse and control within the group. Following her pivotal testimony in a court case against a fellow member for sexual abuse, Philippa has worked tirelessly to advocate for survivors of the fellowship, helping to establish the Jesus Fellowship Survivors Association and pushing for a redress scheme for those affected by systemic abuse.
