A Church of England bishop has called on the Archbishop of Canterbury to resign, calling his position "untenable" after a damning report into abuse by a prolific child abuser associated with the Church.
Bishop of Newcastle Helen-Ann Hartley is the most senior member of the Church to call on the Most Rev Justin Welby to stand down, following the "horrific, horrendous and shocking" report.
Welby is facing mounting pressure to resign after it emerged last week that he did not follow up rigorously enough on reports of John Smyth QC’s "abhorrent" abuse of more than 100 boys and young men.
Welby acknowledged he should have more rigorously followed up the details and said last week he had considered resigning, but decided to stay in his role.
