A survivor of church abuser John Smyth has urged Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby to resign, citing failure to act on abuse allegations he learned in 2013. Andrew Morse, abused by Smyth during the 1970s, argues that Welby’s lack of action reflects a Church of England cover-up. An independent review revealed missed opportunities to report Smyth to authorities and criticized senior church figures for minimizing the abuse. Despite growing pressure, Welby has stated he will not resign, expressing horror at Smyth’s actions and apologizing for his own failures in the handling of the case.
