The victim of a sadistic child abuser has called on the Bishop of Lincoln to resign over his failure to act once allegations emerged. The man, whom the BBC is not identifying, said the Right Reverend Stephen Conway did not do enough as Bishop of Ely when he was informed of John Smyth's abuse.

Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who crowned King Charles and married Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has resigned amid criticism of how he handled a probe into "the most prolific serial abuser" linked to the Church of England.

Pressure remains on Church of England after Welby resignation over Smyth scandal - Health Secretary Wes Streeting said church leaders should not think ‘one head rolling solves the problem’.
