The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has announced his resignation. This follows the release of the independent Makin review, which revealed that the Church of England had covered up sexual abuse committed by barrister John Smyth.
Welby acknowledged that the report exposed the long-standing “conspiracy of silence” surrounding Smyth’s horrific abuses. He admitted that he had mistakenly believed that appropriate action would be taken when he was informed in 2013 that Smyth had been reported to the police.
In a statement, Welby shared, “Having sought the gracious permission of His Majesty The King, I have decided to resign as Archbishop of Canterbury. It is very clear that I must take personal and institutional responsibility for the long and retraumatizing period between 2013 and 2024.”
The independent Makin review, which was published last week, focused on Smyth’s abuse of children and young men. Smyth is said to have subjected his victims to severe physical, sexual, psychological, and spiritual trauma. The report concluded that Smyth might have been brought to justice earlier if Welby had reported the abuse to the police a decade ago.
Smyth, who died in 2018 at the age of 75 in Cape Town while under investigation by Hampshire Police, was never held accountable for his crimes, the review concluded.
