| Archbishop Justin Welby |
Archbishop Welby and Archbishop Armando Guerra Soria of Guatemala are seated in chairs by Leonardo from his series of furniture art creations. In the picture on the left only a small part of one of the chairs can be seen.
The text of Justin's sermon, Reconciliation is our 'Gift to the World', is posted at the archbishop's website. The words of the sermon give me hope. As they say in Guatemala, "Vamos a ver."

UPDATE: Below is a photo, also by Elizabeth Bell, of Leonardo's splendid chairs. The chairs, with their gorgeous colors, are beautiful - true works of art.

The chairs are lovely, exquisite - but I can hardly stand the sight of the fatuous archbishop now.
ReplyDeleteIf you read Leonardo's accounts, you see that Justin Welby went off script a bit and seemed more aware that real change had to come, that waffling and platitudes won't do. As they say in Guatemala, vamos a ver.
DeleteI just read Welby's sermon, and I'm still not impressed. But then Welby wasn't given the job to take a strong stand on anything - he's the make-nice boy, chosen to suit the exigencies of English church politics. Perhaps he will grow into the job, but I wouldn't bet on it.
ReplyDeleteAs they say in Guatemala... :-)
