Summary
The Archbishop of Canterbury has resigned after being accused of mishandling abuse allegations against a man described as the “most prolific serial abuser” in church history. So what did the Archbishop know when? What fateful decision led to his downfall? And where does his departure leave the Anglican church - and the victims affected by abuse?
If you or someone you know has been affected by sibling sexual abuse, support and advice can be found with the Samaritans or The National Association for People Abused in Childhood.
