New Archbishop urges tolerance in sermon

ROWAN WILLIAMS formally began his tenure as the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury yesterday with an enthronement sermon urging tolerance.

The new leader of 70 million Anglicans across the globe explained in very personal terms his vision for the future of the church, and why Christians must engage “with passion” in the world of politics.

Dr Williams delivered his enthronement sermon with the Prince of Wales, the Prime Minister and religious leaders from all over the world listening in the packed, medieval Cathedral in Canterbury.
