| | Contemporary Review: The next Archbishop of Canterbury |
| | Next, there is the Primacy of 'all England' (the Archbishop of York is 'Primate of England', but 'all' is the prerogative of Canterbury; the sometime nervous relationship between the two Archbishops deserves an article in itself), ie, the spiritual headship of the Established Church. | | | It was in 597 that Queen Bertha of Kent, a Christian, persuaded her pagan husband King Ethelbert to receive some 'strangers from Rome', to accept their religion and build a church at Canterbury. | | | Most of this can be done by suffragan bishops at Croydon and Dover (so-called because they could originally cast a bishop's vote or suffrage in the Synod, when there was such a thing), but not all. |

| | William Temple, 98th Archbishop of Canterbury, was born in 1881, the second son of Frederick Temple (born 1821, priest 1847, headmaster of Rugby 1857, Bishop of Exeter 1869, Bishop of London 1884, Archbishop of Canterbury 1897, died 1902). | | | However, Davidson, the Archbishop of Canterbury, after a careful examination, decided that Temple's thought was developing in a direction that would inevitably bring him into an orthodox position, and decided to take a chance on ordaining him (deacon 1909, priest 1910). | | | In 1906, he applied for ordination, but the Bishop of Oxford would not ordain him because he admitted that his belief in the Virgin Birth and the Bodily Resurrection of Jesus was shaky. |

| | Speak Softly ... - The archbishop of Canterbury is stuck between the Rock of Ages and a hard place. By Michael McGough |
