Archbishop of Canterbury Criticized for Public Appearance After Resignation

Justin Welby attended a high-profile British Museum dinner one day after stepping down over a Church abuse scandal.

Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, attended the British Museum trustees' annual dinner just one day after announcing his resignation.
Welby stepped down following a review that found he failed to report John Smyth, a serial abuser linked to the Church of England, to police in 2013.
Ian Hislop, editor of Private Eye, described Welby’s attendance at the event as 'jaw-dropping' and confronted him during the gathering.
Lambeth Palace has stated that Welby will have limited public duties until January 6, with responsibilities delegated to the Archbishop of York.
The BBC confirmed Welby will not deliver the traditional New Year message this year, marking a break in a decade-long tradition.
