Justin Welby: Former Archbishop of Canterbury forgives serial abuser John Smyth In his first interview since resigning, the former Archbishop of Canterbury reflects on the scandal which led him to quit.

Confirming what many suspected and why he was forced out. Utterly unsuited for a position of senior responsibility. Appalling lack of judgement before & after resignation compounded by a Prince Andrew style car crash of an interview. Terrible. #justinwelby #abusescandal www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Laura Kuenssberg: For Justin Welby, anonymity may not be his to choose Some of the victims of serial abuser John Smyth may blame Justin Welby for his attitude forever, writes Laura Kuenssberg.

#AbuseScandal This sentence is especially worrying.

"Welby admitted there are still around a dozen people involved in the CofE who knew about [Smyth's] abuse but are yet to face the consequences"

"Are yet to face" —SORT IT!
