Canterbury - Welby unsurprised

But the first thing we need to do for the rank and file on the Clapham omnibus ordinary man (and woman) in the street is make sure they know who's been picked.

So to help stop any confusion over which Welby is the Archbishop of Canterbury (elect), here's a couple of photographs which might be help to distinguish between the two:

JUSTIN Welby

MARCUS Welby

One is a fictional character and the other is a highly respected person who has brought comfort and solace to many!

So, as we seek to pour oil(man) on troubled waters with regards to women bishops, homosexuality, intolerance, a financially-floundering church and global Christian relations all that remains is for us to pray for the man who would perhaps be king(maker) and let the other candidates breathe a sigh of relief and get back to the normal run of things.

I'm sure Welby blessed by him ;-)

And goodbye to Rowan too!

ps. As the announcement isn't until tomorrow I'd name someone else at 11:00 on Friday just for the sheer fun it would induce in the media and the church itself (go on, you know you'd want to)
