Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has announced his resignation following a report that found the Church of England covered up years of sexual abuse, particularly involving a notorious figure, John Smyth. Accusations regarding the mishandling of youth abuse cases and failure to report horrific incidents have led to increased pressure for his departure. The resignation marks a significant moment for the Anglican Church, which now faces calls for further accountability and a quest for a new leader. Welby, who previously faced criticism for his managerial approach, now leaves a divided Anglican communion grappling with its past failures.
