Several abuse survivors have echoed calls for Justin Welby to resign as Archbishop of Canterbury while demands have also been made for a “clean sweep” of senior clergy members.
Mark Stibbe, who was abused by John Smyth QC in the 1980s, told BBC Newsnight on Monday that Justin Welby’s position was “untenable” after an independent review published last week concluded that Smyth might have been brought to justice had the archbishop formally reported the abuse to police a decade ago.
