Archbishop Of Canterbury Justin Welby Announces Resignation

The leader of the world's Anglican communion, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, on Tuesday said 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," Welby said in a statement.
