The Archbishop of Canterbury's son has spoken publicly for the first time since his father's resignation over the handling of sexual abuse allegations against a Church member.

The Archbishop of Canterbury’s son said his father was “right to resign” following a damning review into the most prolific abuser associated with the Church of England. The independent Makin Review concluded that barrister John Smyth might have been brought to justice had the Archbishop formally alerted authorities in 2013.
