Pressure mounts on Archbishop of Canterbury to resign

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is facing increasing pressure to resign after a series of controversies, including his handling of the sexual abuse scandal in the Church of England.

A group of senior clergy have written to Welby, calling for him to step down, and a number of prominent Anglicans have publicly criticized his leadership.

What are the allegations against Welby?

Welby has been accused of mishandling the sexual abuse scandal in the Church of England. In particular, he has been criticized for failing to take action against bishops who have been accused of abuse.

Welby has also been accused of being too close to the political establishment, and of failing to speak out against injustice.

What is Welby's response?

Welby has apologized for his handling of the sexual abuse scandal, and has promised to take action to improve the Church's response to abuse.

He has also said that he is committed to listening to the concerns of his critics, and that he will continue to lead the Church of England.

What is the future of the Archbishop of Canterbury?

It is unclear what the future holds for Welby. He has said that he is committed to staying in his post, but it is possible that he will be forced to resign if the pressure on him continues to grow.

The future of the Church of England also hangs in the balance. If Welby is forced to resign, it could lead to a period of instability and uncertainty for the Church.
