Exclusive Brethren boss refuses to answer inquiry, citing confidentiality agreements

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church head has declined to give evidence to an inquiry, citing confidentiality agreements that members sign for attending services as a reason to stay silent.

When asked why the church should reveal anything, the leader quipped, "Why should we tell the world?" as if the world were a particularly nosy neighbour who keeps borrowing sugar without ever returning the favour.
