The Religion Media Centre reports:
The Bishop of Dover, Rose Hudson-Wilkin, has said the Archbishop of Canterbury was a good man, chewed up by his critics and spat out when he was forced to resign. Speaking in a Times Radio interview, she said some people in the church had behaved so badly, it was so wrong and he should not have resigned. The church was in a better place because of safeguarding introduced under Dr Welby. She said he was treated like Jesus: “One day they are shouting, ‘Hosanna, Hosanna,’ and then the following day they are shouting, ‘Crucify him, crucify him’.” She would certainly not want her name to go forward to replace him and was content “to share the message of God’s good news on the ground”.
