06/21/2002 Entry: "Archbishop?"
Newspapers are claiming that Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Wales, has effectively been appointed as Archbishop of Canterbury and merely waits for the decision to be ratified by the Prime Minister Tony Blair. The Church in Wales (that's what the Anglican Church in Wales calls itself - it is not the same as the Church of England) has played down these reports. So he probably has.
Replies:
Jenny Wiggly seems certain that Rowan is it, and is a very good choice. The students at the University seem to echo those sentiments because of his concern for social issues that have not been, in their minds, adequately addressed under the present archbishop.
It would be not only a great source of pride for Wales if he is selected, but especially for Swansea, his home town.
I understand the more conservative element in the Cof E would not be thrilled if he is selected, but it is interesting to me to note that they don't select: the Prime Minister does.
