Andrew Cornes is among panel from whom six will be chose to appoint Justin Welby’s successor
A retired clergyman who could be part of the selection process for the next archbishop of Canterbury knew about the sadistic abuse of boys and young men in the early 1980s but failed to take action, according to the report that triggered Justin Welby’s resignation.
The Crown Nominations Commission will comprise 17 voting members plus three non-voting participants. The selection process is expected to take several months. They will draw up a “role profile” setting out the skills, qualities and experience needed in the new archbishop. Members of the public will be invited to submit names for the CNC to consider.
She told the BBC: “This is about institutional changes, our culture and a systemic failure so there must be more that we need to do. Very possibly some of the people should go.” Jo Bailey Wells, the church’s bishop for episcopal ministry, was the personal chaplain to Justin Welby when Lambeth Palace was alerted, by the Bishop of Ely, to Smyth’s abuse in 2013.
