The resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Makin Review into the Abuse by John Smyth.
Many of you will have seen the news regarding the Makin review into the terrible abuse by John Smyth and failings by the church to respond well. In light of this, the Archbishop of Canterbury has now resigned.
The Bishop of Norwich has released a statement and pastoral letter which can be read here. https://ow.ly/2nro50U5HYy
The Church should be a place where everyone is safe. We stand with Bishop Graham in offering our prayers for those who are victims and survivors of this abuse. We also pray for Archbishop Justin and his family.
