E4-5 THE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2012 No: 6152 www.churchnewspaper.com PRICE £1.35 1,70j US$2.20 CHURCH OF ENGLAND THE ORIGINAL CHURCH NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1828 NEWSPAPER The door opens for Welby By Amaris Cole THE RT REV JUSTIN WELBY has been confirmed as the next Archbishop of Can- terbury, an appointment he described as ‘the worst-kept secret since the last Cabi- net reshuffle’. Despite the news being circulated well before Downing Street officially announced the appointment, there appears to be widespread optimism for the selection of the Bishop of Durham. At a press conference on Friday he admitted: “My initial reaction was, ‘oh no’.” But he then added that he was just ‘overwhelmed’ and ‘surprised’. The 56-year-old paid great respect to his predecessor, saying one of the biggest challenges he faces is following in the footsteps of Dr Rowan Williams. Bishop Welby said: “On the basis that you should only follow failures, this is a great mistake.” He spoke of the Archbishop’s infectious spirituality, extraordinary integrity and holiness, immense personal moral and physical courage and his status as one of the world’s principal theologians. The Archbishop-designate went on to speak humbly about all those who had contributed to who both he and his wife, Caroline, had ‘become’. He said the churches he had worked at Britain's bishop of Durham in Paris and London had ‘shaped and nur- Justin Welby poses for tured’ them, while working at Nuneaton photographers after a news as a curate allowed him to make many conference following the mistakes ‘amongst wonderful people’. announcement he will “Coventry cathedral opened my eyes to become the next the Church overseas and gave me a pas- Archbishop of Canterbury sion for reconciliation, and Liverpool at Lambeth Palace in London Continued on page 2 UNHAPPY CHRISTMAS Be the good news to the poorest children in England WWW.CUF.ORG.UK/CHURCHES LETTERS 8 • COMMENT 9 • ALAN STORKEY 9 • CLERGY MOVES 12 • ANGLICAN LIFE 13 • SUNDAY 15 • PAUL RICHARDSON 16 2 www.churchnewspaper.com Sunday November 18, 2012 News continued from page 1 humoured me, teased me and quietly taught me,” he went on.

This remarkably short time of being a Bishop has left many to cast concerns over the amount of experience the he has for the See of Canterbury. His business experience, working for 11 years in the oil industry, is another element of his past much discussed over the last few weeks, though many see his time working in the ‘real world’ as a positive.

  • Updating Report for SCCA Campaign
    Updating Report for SCCA Campaign 2012 proved incredibly important in raising public awareness of the institutional cultures and dynamics that hinder the effective implementation of Child Protection/Safeguarding policies and procedures. The Savile Inquiries, the Rochdale cases and the inquiries and police investigation into child sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy within the Diocese of Chichester all in 2012 raise considerable concerns about how those placed in positions of authority within institutions, local authorities and police services as well as within the wider communities respond to Child Sexual Abuse that is taking place in some cases quite literally before their eyes. The campaign and the Government’s response The Stop Church Child Abuse (“SCCA”) campaign was launched in March 2012. The campaign is an alliance of clergy sexual abuse survivors, charities supporting survivors, specialist lawyers and interested individuals working in the field of child safeguarding. The campaign aims to highlight the serious safeguarding failures of church institutions. The campaign and many individuals have called on the Government to institute an independent inquiry into child sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy, religious and other church officials within all Dioceses and institutions of the Catholic Church in England & Wales and the Church of England and in Wales. Many contacts and letters have passed between the campaign’s supporters and the MPs. The Government response to this pressure has been (quoting from the Education Secretary’s letter of 25th May 2012):- 1) “No child should ever have to tolerate abuse. I am not however convinced of the need for a public inquiry, as the key issues are already being addressed by reforms we have underway.

Tania Murphy, a member of the Cathedral Girls’ Choir, has recently returned to St Paul’s Cathedral, London, to record a CD with St Paul's Cathedral Choir and choristers from other UK cathedrals. The Diamond Fund for Choristers CD will be released on March 17. This Fund was launched last April at a concert in St Paul’s to mark the Friends of Cathedral Music’s diamond jubilee. The concert brought together choristers [email protected] Page !1 February 11 representing 60 cathedrals along with the choir of St Paul’s for the first time ever Tania was selected by St Anne’s Master of the Choristers David Stevens to represent the Cathedral at the concert in St Paul’s on April 27 last year. The concert was presented by Classic FM’s Aled Jones and Alexander Armstrong, and held in the presence of HRH The Duchess of Gloucester. After her visit to St Paul’s, Tania said she had formed new friendships with choristers from different parts of the country who shared the same interests, and described it as ‘definitely an experience which I will never forget!’ Tania has sung with the St Anne’s Choir for almost four years. “I love being a chorister of St Anne's Cathedral as I have always been intrigued by the concept of choral music and the resonating sound of the music in such a big cathedral as St Anne's,” she said. “Being a chorister has given me so many opportunities such as singing in Puccini's opera Turandot, singing with the St Anne's choir on a tour of Paris, and of course this wonderful opportunity of being able to sing in St Paul's Cathedral, London.” [email protected] Page !2 February 11 !

As a parish priest for 20 years I had always been something of a sceptic about cathedrals. So, it was one of God’s little jokes when I was asked to become a dean. 2. I quickly discovered, of course, just how wrong I had been. These amazing places incorporate everything the Church of England aspires to be in its best moments: congregations are growing and visitor numbers are remarkable; people on the edge of faith experience them as safe spaces to explore Christianity; they have become a focus for enquiry and activity in the public square, gathering places for communities at times of national crisis or celebration, and a crucial source of ‘bridging’ social capital at a time when darker forces threaten to fracture the social landscape.
