(CNA) Bishop Justin Welby Chosen to Lead Anglican Communion

Posted on November 12, 2012 by Kendall Harmon

The future Anglican Communion leader got a warm reception from Catholic quarters, including Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster.

“I am sure that his ministry, like that of his predecessor, Archbishop Rowan Williams, will provide an important Christian witness to this country over the coming years,” said the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

The president of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, Cardinal Kurt Koch, welcomed Bishop Welby’s appointment and will travel to England for his installation on March 21, 2013.

    How does one lead the Anglican Communion anyway? It has been so long I’ve forgotten.
