On Thursday 5 December 2024, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby gave his valedictory speech in the House of Lords.
The speech sparked a wave of controversy for its humorous tone and for ignoring the victims and survivors of John Smyth. It was the official independent report into the Church of England's handling of Smyth's abuse that led to Justin Welby announcing that he would resign his position as Archbishop with effect from 6 January 2025.
The following day, on Friday 6 December, the Archbishop "apologised wholeheartedly" for the hurt caused by his speech, saying:
"I understand that my words – the things that I said, and those I omitted to say – have caused further distress for those who were traumatised, and continue to be harmed, by John Smyth’s heinous abuse, and by the far reaching effects of other perpetrators of abuse.
"I did not intend to overlook the experience of survivors, or to make light of the situation – and I am very sorry for having done so."
This video shows Archbishop Justin's speech in full, as well as the long tribute from the past President of the Methodist Conference, Lord Griffiths of Burry Port, as well as tributes and comments from other peers taking part in the debate.
