Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the religious chief of Anglicans worldwide and the top of the Church of England, will full his official duties by January 6, after saying final week that he would give up over an abuse scandal.
Welby resigned after a report discovered that he had taken inadequate motion to convey to justice one of many church’s most prolific serial abusers – a British lawyer who subjected greater than 100 boys and younger males to “brutal and horrific” bodily and sexual abuse over a 40-year interval.
Lambeth Palace stated in a press release on Wednesday that Welby meant to finish his official duties by the upcoming Feast of Epiphany, on Jan. 6.
“Archbishop Justin intends little or no public-facing exercise between now and Epiphany, however plans to honour a small variety of remaining commitments,” it stated.
“At Epiphany, the archbishop of Canterbury’s official features might be delegated to the archbishop of York.”
The palace stated the date on which Welby formally ceases to carry workplace might be agreed with the Privy Council – formal advisors to the monarch.
