Indeed! It is that time of year when a lot of people are ill. Hope she is well enough to attend the Remembrance weekend events coming up.

Yes indeed I was thinking that too .
The milder than usual weather is not helping the flu season!

My goodness. In view of everything that has happened over the past few years, in my humble opinion this resignation was the correct thing for Archbishop Welby to do. But what an end to an Archbishop of Canterbury’s career in the Church of England!

 

[Hans-Rickard]

It’s really sad that the man officiating QEII’s funeral and KCIII’s coronation, and baptized 4 of The King’s 5 grandchildren ends his career like this - but i agree that resigning is the right thing to do, and the only thing he should do… Even though Welby is hardly the only one at fault in all this and i would be very surprised if not more heads will be rolling - the AB of Canterbury has always the biggest responsibility…

He also married Harry & Meghan. What a terrible way to end his career! I am glad he decided to step down and resign. It shows he has some conscience.
Quotes like "what you tolerate, you promote" and "indecision is a decision " come to mind. Welby knew about the abuses and yet chose to do nothing. Shameful!

Indeed and he has been the Archbishop of Canterbury since February 2013 ,the were growing calls over the weekend for him to resign and when the other Bishops started joined that chorus I was half expecting it.
