Today, the committee charged with discerning who to nominate to be the new Archbishop of Canterbury starts its deliberations. Various names have been suggested and we will know the answer before very long but none of the Bishops who seem to be front runners unduly impress me. Who ever takes on this challenging role will need very broad shoulders. and the assistance of the Holy Spirit, if he is going to keep together not only the world-wide Anglican Church but the Church of England. This person will need our prayers as will, of course, the Committee who are making the choice.

ReplyDeleteBit late isn't it. The Anglican Church is bitterly divided and it is difficult to see what any new archbishop can do. Perhaps it has gone beyond its sell by date and to use that new expression "it is not fit for purpose". Please discuss!!!

ReplyDeleteIt probably is too late but we should not forget that with God all things are possible. A newly appointed Archbishop inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit might just achieve what many of us think impossible.
