Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury and head of the Anglican Church, has resigned following revelations of his mishandling of sexual abuse allegations involving over 100 boys by a church lawyer. His decision comes after mounting pressure and demands for his resignation following the ‘Makin Report’, which highlighted his failure to adequately address reports of abuse dating back to the 1970s and 1980s. In a personal statement, Welby acknowledged his responsibility and expressed hope for reforms to create a safer church environment. His resignation signifies a significant moment for the Anglican community and its commitment to addressing past failures.
