Archbishop retires amid cathedral behaviour failings8 hours ago Share Save Gwyn Loader Chief correspondent, Newyddion S4C Share SaveBBC Andrew John was the 14th person to hold the title of Archbishop of WalesThe Archbishop of Wales has announced his retirement from the role with immediate effect. His sudden retirement follows a turbulent period for his Bangor diocese, after the publication of the summaries of two reports into failures last month. The summaries mentioned "a culture in which sexual boundaries seemed blurred" and excessive alcohol consumption as well as governance and safeguarding weaknesses at Bangor Cathedral. Two priests within Bangor Cathedral have also called publicly for an independent inquiry into the cathedral and diocese. Newyddion S4C has seen letters from other church members calling on church authorities to launch such an inquiry.
