Evangelicals react to Welby resignation

Justin Welby

Evangelicals are reacting to the news that Justin Welby has resigned.

In an unprecedented move, the Archbishop of Canterbury submitted his resignation to the King following an increasing clamour in recent days for him to go after last week's publication of the Makin Review.

An online petition calling on Welby to resign had reached 12,677 signatures by the time his decision to quit was announced this afternoon.
