Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby faces mounting pressure to resign following a report revealing his failure to address allegations against John Smyth QC, who is accused of abusing over 100 boys. The Bishop of Newcastle is among those calling for Welby’s departure, and a petition has garnered over 6,500 signatures. Welby acknowledged his shortcomings but opted to remain in his role. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Keir Starmer refrained from publicly supporting the archbishop, stating the matter lies with the Church. Calls for reform are echoing across the religious community as scrutiny intensifies.
