- Welby conceded he failed to prioritize victims and energetically pursue the John Smyth abuse tragedy.
- He now attends psychotherapy and psychiatry sessions to cope with the loneliness of his resignation and moral weight.
- While admitting shortcomings, Welby contests claims the Church never reported to police, affirming authorities instructed no further inquiry.
Former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby resigned in November 2024.
The Makin report exposed failures in addressing abuse allegations against John Smyth, who abused victims in Britain and Africa for decades.
The report faulted Welby for not doing enough upon learning of the allegations, prompting his admission of personal failure in ensuring a thorough investigation.
Biblical leadership demands unwavering accountability to protect the flock, as Scripture warns shepherds who neglect justice face divine judgment.
Welby told the Rosebud Podcast.
“I’ve been seeing a psychotherapist for a considerable period of time. And a psychiatrist. Very helpful.”
He explained.
“It’s not about saying, ‘oh, it didn’t matter’, or anything like that, quite the reverse – how does one live with such a failure?”
Keith Makin upheld his report.
He noted Welby knew of Smyth and bore personal moral responsibility to pursue beyond mere assurances from police.
Church leaders must embody Christ-like repentance and vigilance to safeguard families and uphold godly standards in our nation.
