Gavin Grey: Europe Correspondent on the Archbishop of Canterbury standing down over his handling of abuse allegations

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

After days of mounting pressure, the Archbishop of Canterbury is stepping down over his handling of abuse allegations.  Justin Welby —the leader of the Anglican Church— has been under fire following the release of a report into abuser John Smyth.  Smyth, who is believed to be the most prolific child abuser associated with the Anglican Church, died in 2018 without facing justice.  Correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge the report's found Welby failed to take appropriate action.  Specifically, he says the report found Welby hadn't followed up rigorously on reports of abuse of 100 young boys and men that go back as far as 2013.
