Canterbury - Under starter's orders!

So here's the front runners

York (John Sentamu)

Coventry (Chris Cocksworth)

London (Richard Chartres)

Durham (Justin Welby), and

Norwich - (Graham James)



Perhaps not so odd is the fact that Slough Comprehensive and Oxbridge educated Welby is being mooted as having his nose in front as they come under starters orders. A good establishment choice and a sound man too!

Coming up on the inside is Liverpool's (James Jones) a bit of a favourite since the Hillsborough report.

Chris Cocksworth is up there with Graham James billed as a 'compromise' candidate (which must be a mixed bag for him).

Chartres is the orthodox candidate and Sentamu would (in my opinion) be exceedingly interesting and would make the communion (and the CofE) a very interesting place indeed.

But whoever it is that gets the nod, let's p[ray for the selection panel and the person chosen that the decision and the man is God's choice for our denomination here and worldwide.
