Church of England Faces Uncertainty After Welby Resignation
The Church of England grapples with uncertainty following the resignation of Archbishop Justin Welby. His departure comes amid ongoing concerns over the Church’s credibility in safeguarding, particularly for abuse victims. While some Anglicans feel relief, citing Welby’s diminished trustworthiness, others lament the loss of a leader who sought to guide the Church through sociopolitical challenges. The diverse perspectives within the Church reflect broader societal debates in Britain, especially as the number of self-identified Christians declines. The future direction of the institution remains crucial as it navigates internal and external pressures.
