Archbishop Justin Welby welcomes the Archbishop of Cyprus to Lambeth Palace

After a private meeting the Archbishops prayed together in the Crypt Chapel at Lambeth Palace.

In a greeting to Archbishop Chrysostomos, Archbishop Justin said: “Between our two churches there has always been more that unites us than that which divides us and so we can pray together and welcome all sincere efforts for peace in your country, in Europe and in the world. Certainly there is need for peacemakers today, and I pray that God’s love may move us beyond what we can hope for, that our endeavours in interfaith dialogues will create greater understanding for the world as one human family.”

    “Between our two churches there has always been more that unites us than that which divides us…”

    Stopped reading there. No point in going any further.

    Yes, its very interesting when compared with the directives issued by ++Welby to his own CofE schools concerning the promotion of homosexuality.

    It appears that the ABC has the remarkable facility of being truly able to talk out of both sides of his face at once!
