The name of the Crown’s nominee as next Archbishop of Canterbury is expected to be made public on Friday.
The final meeting of the Canterbury Crown Nominations Commission (CNC) was held last week, and it is understood that a nominee was agreed by at least the required two-thirds majority.
The CNC comprised 17 members, including six elected from the General Synod, five representing the Anglican Communion, and three from the diocese of Canterbury, alongside the Bishop of Norwich, the Rt Revd Graham Usher, and the Archbishop of York.
