Archbishop and head of the Church of England resigns amidst sex abuse scandal
AP News reported Nov. 11, that the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England, Justin Welby resigned due to involvement in a child sex abuse scandal by a Christian summer camp volunteer in which the Archbishop failed to report to police.
This isn’t the first abuse scandal Welby has been involved with, in 2013 he also failed to take “responsibility for his failure to report the abuse in England and in Africa” in another case. This rightfully upset many over the “lack of accountability at the highest reaches of the church.”
Welby stated in his resignation that he was taking “personal and institutional responsibility” and that resigning would be the best choice for the Church of England.
