Archbishop of Canterbury FINALLY Resigns Over Church of England Child Abuse Scandal

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby QUITS: Archbishop reveals his 'profound sense of shame' as he resigns after damning report found his failure to act meant serial child abuser never faced justice

BBC News 13 NOV 2024

The Archbishop of Canterbury dramatically resigned today admitting he feels shame over the way victims of the Churchs most prolific child abuser were let down.

Justin Welby said he was quitting after a damning report found his failure to act meant that abhorrent serial abuser John Smyth was never brought to justice.

Dr Welby had initially tried to cling on, but was effectively forced to fall on his sword after senior colleagues joined criticism and more than 12,000 people signed a petition. Keir Starmer had also pointedly refused to back him.

The Archbishop of York said the resignation was the right and honourable thing to do, while MPs insisted there was a duty on leaders of institutions to report and rigorously follow up safeguarding concerns.

Survivor groups stressed that there should be more departures rather than Dr Welby being the sole scapegoat. Those facing calls to go include the current Bishop of Lincoln, Stephen Conway, who has apologised for not taking further action.

A man, who was not named, told the BBC of Bishop Conway: 'He was the person in a position to stop John Smyth, bring him to justice and he fundamentally failed.'
