{Video} New Archbishop Faces Challenge Uniting Nigerian Anglicans on Gay & Women Priesthood


Justin Welby

November 9, 2012

The current Bishop of Durham Justin Welby has been named as the next Archbishop of Canterbury.

Congregations around the world hope his leadership will reunite the church's followers, particularly in Nigeria. Many of the country's 18 million Anglicans are at odds with more liberal worshippers over issues like same-sex marriages and gay priests.

Our West Africa correspondent Will Ross reports from Lagos on the challenge ahead there for the new leader. Click the video link below:
   
Not your average Archbishop! Not only does he actually believe in God, but the new Archbishop of Canterbury is the son of a bootlegger who was Vanessa Redgrave's lover
His style is self-deprecating, his family background surprisingly colourful. The great unanswered question, though, is just why did oilman Justin Welby throw up his six-figure salary and executive lifestyle to become a priest?

Yesterday, 56-year-old Dr Welby — ordained barely 20 years ago and appointed Bishop of Durham only last autumn — was named the new Archbishop of Canterbury, the Church of England’s most senior post and spiritual head of 77 million Anglicans worldwide.
