http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-19726184 An Anglican prelate who is considered one of the leading candidates to become the next Archbishop of Canterbury has disclosed that he is praying he will not be selected.
I have no problem with a 62 year old being appointed to an important role, but I do wish some of ours did not hang on way after their physical, mental and/or decision making capabilities have weakened. |

A wise man! Surely Archbishop of Canterbury is the most thankless task imaginable. On top of all the factional divisions centred on homosexuality and ordination of women, the next appointee may be in place when Prince Charles ascends the throne. I would pray not to be elected and make sure everyone knew about it. My only fear would be that people mistook it for modesty!!! |

I pray that the new man at the helm will steer the ship in the right direction, Romeward bound. The passage may be long and stormy, but the destination will be eventually reached, in answer to the prayer of Jesus that we all be ONE. Other ships will follow. |

I think it the Church of England are loosing a good man when Rowen Williams steps down. I pray for him and his successor. May he be able to ensure that the moral voice is not silenced in the Church of England as it is buffeted by cries of people demanding the popular choice. Who ever takes on the job I pray that they will be able to rebuild some of the Ecumenical Bridges that have been damaged by recent swings and changes in the Anglican Church so that even though we walk different paths on many matters we will walk together on the only path that truly matters, the love and charity we show to one another for in charity we are united in Christ. |

Justin Welby, the present Bishop of Durham, is expected to be the new Archbishop of Canterbury. In a recent Pastoral Letter he writes that he is commited to women bishops. Some people believe that the York Minster Fire in the 1980s was the result of one of his predecessors making an outrageous denial of a Doctrine. |

And perhaps we might, in due course, get someone who will be able to meet them half way by rebuilding some of the ecumenical bridges that have been damaged by recent swings and changes in the catholic church. Gerry |

More subtle and not so subtle anti Catholocism. Queen-it's her church and Prime Minister appoint and approve for a man who sits in House of Lords with unelected voting powers! And with such over a country with its own established Church-Scotland and the Kirk! Remember we are not citizens, but subjects. Go on jokes-oil on troubled waters! |

I pray that the Anglican "Church" drifts further away and yet more Anglican people, clergy and lay, see thing for themselves what a wreck their house built on sand is and convert to the One True Faith, where the solid foundations are based on the Rock Christ built his One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I pray for, and desire their conversion. |

The obvious solution is re-classify the Church of Scotland, rename it the Archdiocese of Scotland, and the Queen proclaim to her foreign subjects on the other side of the wall that henceforth they will be privileged to have the benefit of the Archbishop of Canterbury speaking, for their spiritual welfare, in the House of Lords - on the banks of the Thames.
