The Church of England is beginning its search for a new leader after the Archbishop of Canterbury resigned. Here’s why …The leader of the world's Anglican communion, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, said on November 12, 2024 he was resigning following a damning report that concluded the Church of England covered up a serial abuse case.

“I hope this decision makes clear how seriously the Church of England understands the need for change and our profound commitment to creating a safer church., a lawyer who organised evangelical summer camps in the 1970s and 1980s, was responsible for “prolific, brutal and horrific” abuse of as many as 130 boys and young men.

Asked whether Welby should stand down, Starmer, a former chief prosecutor for England and Wales, said it was “a matter, in the end, for the Church”. It may also have “resulted in an ongoing and avoidable safeguarding threat in the period between 2012 and his death in 2018”. Discovery is seeking to introduce a new medical aid plan, aimed at addressing the healthcare needs of new entrants and young professionals.
