The only Church of England bishop to publicly demand the resignation of former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said Wednesday that his departure wasn't enough to solve the church’s “profound failure” in safeguarding vulnerable people or ease the trauma suffered by victims of abuse.
Welby, 68, stepped down Tuesday after an independent review found that he failed to alert police as soon as he learned of serial physical and sexual abuse perpetrated by a volunteer at Christian summer camps. That failure allowed the man to continue abusing boys and young men for another five years, the Makin Review said in a report released last week.
