Justin Welby has resigned as Archbishop of Canterbury after 11-and-a-half years as leader of the Church of England. It comes after the publication of an independent review into the Church’s handling of allegations of physical and sexual abuse committed by John Smyth at Christian camps in the 1970s and 80s. Welby became Archbishop in 2013, having only served as a bishop for two years. He also became the first Archbishop of Canterbury for 70 years to preside over the funeral and coronation of a monarch.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has said that he considered resigning as recently as Thursday morning - over a report revealing that senior members of the Church of England “covered up” abuse perpetrated by one of its members for more than 40 years. It was a 2017 Channel 4 News investigation that first exposed the abuse by John Smyth, described today as the Church’s “most prolific abuser.” Report by Jonesia.
