Welby ‘not my friend’

Justin Welby

Justin Welby has been criticised by the Rector of All Souls’ Langham Place, Charlie Skrine.

The minister of the large central London congregation – where John Stott once preached – was speaking in Australia at Sydney’s National Evangelical Anglican Conference.

‘Justin Welby... is “the best archbishop we never had”,’ Skrine said, using irony to speak of his disappointment with the CofE’s chief prelate. ‘When he was appointed, we were delighted; this was such good news and [in] his first interview, he talked about Jesus again and again and again. We’ve never had an archbishop like that.
