Priest Who Wed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Resigns Over Child Sexual Abuse Scandal |

The recent resignation of Justin Welby, the head of the Church of England, has sent shockwaves through the religious community. Welby, who gained fame for officiating the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, stepped down following revelations that he failed to report the sexual abuse of young boys at a Christian summer camp.

The investigation uncovered that Welby was aware of the abuse by volunteer John Smyth, who was found to have sexually abused 130 boys and young men while overseeing the camp. Despite this knowledge, Welby did not promptly alert authorities, leading to criticism and calls for his resignation.

In a statement, Welby acknowledged his failure to act swiftly, stating, “It is very clear that I must take personal and institutional responsibility for the long and retraumatizing period between 2013 and 2024.” He expressed his love for the Church of England but believed that stepping aside was in its best interests.

Welby’s tenure as Archbishop of Canterbury included presiding over significant events such as Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral and King Charles III’s coronation. However, his legacy will be tarnished by the scandal surrounding John Smyth’s abuse and the Church of England’s delayed response.

The Makin Report, an independent investigation into the scandal, highlighted the widespread conspiracy of silence surrounding Smyth’s crimes. The report detailed the heinous abuses committed by Smyth in Britain and South Africa, where he operated children’s camps connected to the Church of England.

The revelation of Welby’s inaction has sparked outrage and raised questions about how such a significant figure could overlook such egregious crimes. The Church of England is now grappling with what is being labeled as its biggest child abuse scandal in history.

The search for a new leader to guide the church through this challenging time has begun, as the repercussions of this scandal continue to unfold.
