| Description | Former Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey has resigned as a priest following a BBC investigation into the Church of England's handling of a sexual abuse case.
Lord Carey quit after the BBC contacted him about allegations he allowed a priest, who had been banned over sexual abuse allegations, to return to ministry.
In his resignation letter, Lord Carey said it had been an "honour to serve", having been practising since 1962.
The 89-year-old's decision to stand down came as a direct result of the investigation, a spokesperson later confirmed. |
