An Easter Message from Archbishop Duncan

As I write this letter to you it is Wednesday in Holy Week. I am travelling to Juba in South Sudan to spend the Great Three Days (The Sacred Triduum) with Archbishop Daniel Deng Bul, his clergy and his people. I am to be away from all the things that are familiar, except that the Church is one throughout the world, and the old, old story does not change (yet changes everything).

The Weekly Standard: The End of Canterbury

The Archbishop of Canterbury is going to resign next year. At least that’s the story making the rounds of newspapers in London, and the interesting part is not that the 61-year-old Rowan Williams should be willing to give up another decade in the job. Or even, if the Telegraph is right, that the clergy and his fellow bishops are working to push him out.

OPINION PIECE BY AUTHOR

While I was filming from the Last Lambeth Conference I added a bumper to each video titled "The Last Lambeth". This was me editorializing on what I was observing on the grounds of Kent University in Canterbury, England. I was watching a conference which was first called to deal with heresy and lawsuits at its genesis in 1867 turn into a meeting where the shepherds of the Church were called together to deal with nothing and talk about everything.
