Justin Welby, former Archbishop of Canterbury: I forgive serial abuser John Smyth

I forgive serial abuser John Smyth


Laura Kuenssberg talks to Justin Welby, the former Archbishop of
Canterbury. As the figurehead for the 85 million people in over
165 countries who call themselves Anglicans, he presided over
some of the key events in the Commonwealth of the last ten years,
including the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. But his tenure was
clouded, and eventually ended, by an abuse scandal that shook the
church. This interview is the first with Justin Welby since he
resigned.


The Interview was made by Clare Williamson and Lucy Sheppard. It
was hosted by Laura Kuenssberg. The editor is Sam Bonham.
