Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby ends his last day in office following resignation amid controversies
The 105th Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Rev. Justin Welby, is leaving office today mired in controversy about his safeguarding role over a serial paedophile and after criticism by some Anglican leaders for supporting homosexual unions. “The church will certainly get things wrong. I will certainly get things wrong,” said Welby when he took up the position of archbishop in March 2013, just a year after he became Bishop of Durham. “We will also get much right and do so already.”
