Archbishop Justin Welby On Anglican Communion: ‘There Is A Possibility That We Will Not Hold Togethe [View all]

Religion News Service | By Trevor Grundy

CANTERBURY, England (RNS) In a lengthy interview in The Times of London, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby predicted that the Anglican Communion might not hold together because of strong disagreements on the ordination of women as bishops and full rights for LGBT people.

The candid interview came at the end of Welby’s visits to the 38 provinces (or country-states) that make up the Anglican Communion.

Welby said that although individual churches remain “strong, resilient and thriving,” the differences among them remain profound.

I am surprised we didn't break up already. While I don't want a split it we may not be able to stop it.
