The Church of England has described the public consultation as 'an opportunity to gather the views of a wide range of people... on the gifts, qualities and skills needed'.
The public is being given the chance to suggest who should be the next Archbishop of Canterbury, replacing Justin Welby, who resigned after a report found the Church of England covered up sexual abuse by a barrister. He stood down following the publication of the Makin Review which found John Smyth QC attacked as many as 130 boys and young men, including at Christian summer camps.
In December, Mr Cottrell apologised over his leadership regarding a sex abuse case when he was Bishop of Chelmsford and in January the Bishop of Liverpool announced his retirement amid misconduct allegations. The Church has described the public consultation as 'an opportunity to gather the views of a wide range of people... on the gifts, qualities and skills needed' for the role of Archbishop of Canterbury.
