Justin Welby

Justin Welby is the former Archbishop of Canterbury. He is newsworthy because his resignation, prompted by his handling of a safeguarding scandal, led to the appointment of Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop. Recent news focuses on Mullally's confirmation and her pledges to address misogyny and rebuild trust in the Church of England's handling of abuse cases. A complaint against Mullally regarding her handling of an abuse allegation was dismissed. Welby's departure and the subsequent focus on Mullally highlight the Church's ongoing efforts to address past failings and ensure a safer environment for vulnerable individuals. The news also mentions Andreas Whittam Smith, a former senior lay member of the Church of England, who recently passed away.
