Archbishop Justin Welby Will Try To Be All Things To All Men

Archbishop Justin Welby Will Try To Be All Things To All Men

From The Newspaper Mail-

"'The archbishop/Is the King's hand and tongue; and who imagine speak/One syllable opposed to him?' "

So asked Sir Thomas Lovell in gossip with Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester, in Shakespeare's Henry VIII.

We know, of course, how effects turned out for that King's operational and native tongue under the close Emperor - bloody Mary.

Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, artist of the Church of England's XXXIX Articles and critic of the tongue Regard of Place Mercy, went on to last a frightful host syllables tacit opposed to him, chiefly by make somewhere your home who were ill-advisedly perceptive that territory assistance had shifted, religion reverted, and make somewhere your home whose theology and beliefs were while in favour became the new outcasts and heretics - 'a pestilence/That does defile the people. Such is the ebb and administrate of spiritual myopia and deep zeal.

Of the close Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rt Rev'd Justin Welby, I wrote back in September:

'If, on the contrary, the (Wreath Nominations) Meeting is uneasy to fit in God's determination - a nice and capable talker, completely unfaltering to encouragement the traditional values of the Christian consortium - 'the consortium that was while for all entrusted to the saints' - in the desolate context of cultural select, expressive chaos, fan have doubts about and theological combat, the lot must fall to Justin Welby, Bishop of Durham.'
