THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The panel meeting to appoint the successor to Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, is split over the future of the Church.
It is the decision that 77 million Anglicans around the world are waiting for: who will become the next Archbishop of Canterbury.
But nine days after the successor to Dr Rowan Williams was expected to have been named, the Crown Nominations Commission remains silent.
Its work is shrouded in secrecy, but a Sunday Telegraph investigation can reveal that its 16 members are split, not over women bishops or same sex marriages, but the future of the Church itself.
A substantial number of people on the panel would like a man who will reform the structures, finance and strategies of the Church of England and help “re-imagine” it for the modern age. » | Cole Moreton, and Edward Malnick | Saturday, October 06, 2012
My comment:
The next Archbishop of Canterbury should be one who understands fully the threat of Islam, and he should also be committed to the Good News of the Gospel, leaving no stone unturned to begin the task of filling the churches once more. Anyone who does not meet up to these three challenges does not deserve to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury. Women bishops and gay marriage are side issues. The future of Western civilisation is at stake. – © Mark
