| 0:00.0 | It's Friday, November 15, 2024. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.2 | This week, the Archbishop of Canterbury resigned under pressure due to a scandal concerning church sex abuse. |
| 0:21.1 | He was by no means charged with the sex abuse, |
| 0:23.5 | but he was charged with failing to take determinative action that was called for |

| 1:36.1 | plays an extremely important role. The Archbishop of Canterbury is not only the head cleric |
| 1:42.3 | in the Church of England, the senior cleric, the Archbishop of Canterbury, |
