Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury to be replaced by a woman or person of colour? Here’s what’s next…

Live Mint  

Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury's resignation amid a sex abuse scandal has led to widespread speculations about who would be the next archbishop — the spiritual leader of 85 million Anglicans worldwide. Reportedly, many people within the Church and beyond, have been hoping that the next leader could be a woman, or a person of colour, or someone who is in favour of LGBT+ rights. The list of contenders for Justin Welby's post shows that some of the bishops favour LGBT+ rights, while some have a deep commitment to environmental issues, and poverty. Graham Usher Graham Usher Usher is known for his strong commitment to environmental causes, serving as the lead bishop on environmental issues, and he voted in favour of services to bless same-sex couples.
