For Justin Welby, I may not be unknown to his choice

It is a strange feeling, he is sitting with someone who has had a great power one day and is not now.

Changes can be difficult from before to beyond. They are often in their behavior, he is nervous when they supervise the room. Only or with one supporter when they existed when they picked up their bags or asked to see a camera image. Sometimes they become angry if they believe that they have been oppressed in their work; Sometimes it pours greed, they get out of themselves, they have an influence demand.

Justin Welby came into the room without the big priest’s clothes. There is no cross, not even a simple dog collar. Only “Beshop Justin” now, without any platform for advocating, and may not lose much.

For more than 10 years, he was the head of the England Church, a moral leader for a society with more than 80 million nurses worldwide. His work was one of our country’s most influential and most important works, which was planted in the sculpture of our national life, from the royal family, parliament and the small policy of PP.

For many of the victims of John Smith, who is a chain rape, and many of you seem to read this, Welbe’s recognized failures are not only selfish but also dangerously. He was not so “Knjkaw” that he could seek the charges against children in the England church. Now he says that when he received it in He was very “surprisingly” because of the wider problem size. To find out what happened to Smith, a man he knew for years, although he thought the accusations might be true.

An independent review has shown that Smith’s abuse of more than 100 children and young people has been covered in the church for decades for decades. Smith died at the age of 77 before being brought to court.

Now, listening carefully to Welby, openly, a confession that he considered very wrong is still confused. This was not decades ago, when each discussion of insults was completely taboo. There were before the clergy prosecution. His attitude not only understood the impossible, but was completely deaf by some of the Smiths he abused abusively, causing doubt that he did not want to know simply.

And while it fits with his faith. The priest’s previous statement that he will forgive a series of painful If he was in life, he may be more sad.

One of Smith’s victims, also known as Graham, who filed an original complaint about Smith in 2013, told the BBC that Welby would not forgive until the victims were told the full truth about what was wrong. “Not if it continues to empty us and refuses to tell us the truth. We are victims, they deserve to know what happened and we still don’t see it yet,” Graham said.

“If Welby had contacted us in 2017, he said, ‘I will come and apologize to you personally. Sorry. I’m upset. I would forgive him immediately, but he never made these conditions.”

Welby is now free to say what was wrong and his feelings of shame, and enthusiastically about the changes in the church in 2013. But he was much less comfortable in trying to explain why he, he said, “As necessary” did not know about the reports of the youth in the church – and he really really asked about anything that was really asked, and he was really asked. 2013, when the official review has reached the conclusion, is unlikely.

in our conversation, which you can look at it here completely or listen to itthere was also a strong feeling that Welby has an unfinished commercial. When it comes to Smith, Welby admitted that there were still about dozens of people who were involved in the church that they knew about the rape but did not face the consequences, but also said he would not face any discipline.

And when it comes to the church’s concerns about the broader insulting cases, there is still no independent independent system for protection, which Welby regrets, although he wanted to highlight the increase in the number of people working in the region.

What about the other issues in the church that served more than ten years? Equal treatment with gay couples who still cannot celebrate their partnership in the same way as right-wing partners? O women priests, which can still be rejected by individuals in the temple? In 2020, the England Church is not an institution that all nurses or all its preachers treat the same.

Explanation of the welby? policy. “I wanted to move a magical knife and get it properly, or as I saw it correctly,” but he couldn’t get the votes needed for the church executive committee to accept more major changes.

His supporters said he had been able to push some modernization. His critics may say, too far, or not far enough. Some say the task of modernizing the church, with millions of members from the world, is closer to impossible than much more conservative than the UK.

Can the church be divided? He says it would be a “trader”. Isn’t there a cost to compromise to protect the organization? He says Unity is at his priority. “We are at odds between each other, but it doesn’t cover it. We are families. The role of the main priest and other priests is to allow people to stay in the family without rejecting full standards that are basic.

Welby was careful not to say that he was treated in an unfair attack that followed the revelations about the size of his mistakes and the church. The reality is that the nature of its mistakes was not only a small incompleteness, but the lack of a shocking action.

But his words about how difficult it is to be a public figure in our time may find some of the heads of silence in Westminster. According to him, social media has rushed to judgment, the leaders are under an unforgivable eyes. “If you want a complete leader, you will have no leader,” he said.

Does he hope to make his place in the Lord’s Council, like many other major priests before him? of course. Is it permissible? Considering what happened, it will be annoying. But Welby’s translation of Smith’s scandal, and his reflection in his time at the Lambeth Palace, is now designed for recording.

He says he wants to fade now and become vague, his power and influence is no longer. He might advocate for it again, but he had to ask the church for permission.

Some of Smith’s victims may always blame Welby for his attitude. Historians and churches argue and debate their inheritance – not only to deal with torture, but also the management of the church.

Welby is not the first and the last public to end his profession with pain. But I have made history because of the mistakes, unknowns and vagueness of history. He may not belong to him.
