Head of the Church of England and spiritual leader of the global Anglican Communion, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby , announced he would be resigning on Tuesday following a damning report that revealed he withheld crucial information from police. The holy man had failed to report, without delay, the serial physical and sexual abuse inflicted by a trusted volunteer at Christian summer camps in Britain, Zimbabwe and South Africa over several decades.
The report found Smyth identified pupils from leading public schools including Winchester College and took them to his home near Winchester in Hampshire, where he carried out lashings with a garden cane in his shed. It said eight of the boys received a total of 14,000 lashes, while two more received 8,000 strokes between them over three years. The Iwerne Trust called the practice "horrific" but the claims were not reported to police until 2013 - more than 30 years later.
