The abuse scandal facing the Church of England
What the resignation of the Church's most senior figure means for Anglicans worldwide.
What the resignation of the Church's most senior figure, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, means for Anglicans worldwide. An independent report found that the Church of England failed to act on allegations that more than a hundred boys were physically and sexually abused by a man running Christian summer camps in the UK and Zimbabwe. What does this mean for the millions of Anglicans in Africa, many of whom were already feeling out of step with the UK leaders of the Church?
On this episode, Lucy Hockings speaks to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s religion editor Aleem Maqbool and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s correspondent in Zimbabwe Shingai Nyoka.
