Resignation of Justin Welby

The resignation of Justin Welby as Archbishop of Canterbury sparked significant discussion regarding his handling of serious allegations of abuse at a Christian summer camp. The reaction highlighted a broader concern among Anglicans who felt let down by church leadership, particularly as Welby continued to engage with the public immediately after his resignation.
