If you missed it, do see it on BBC iPlayer, because it was a remarkable prorgramme and the new Archbishop's own contributions were outstanding being both moving and spiritually powerful.
He has that real gift of talking about spiritual things in simple down-to-earth way.
He was once said he was one of the 'thickest bishops.' I don't believe that at all, but he wears his learning lightly, and he is able to communicate Christian truth in a refreshingly straightforward way.
There is a sense that the Archbishop of Canterbury is by default Chief Spokesman for Christianity in this country and for that very demanding role, the signs are that Justin is an excellent choice. Pray for him.
It was suggested that news paper said that ++Justin said Jesus over 20 times in his first sermon. This is a real encouragement to know that ++Justin will speak of Jesus and his ministry at every opportunity. Praise Jesus that his message from the gospel will be brought into a world which is resisting the Good News which brings a hope and promised to lost who call on Jesus to be their Lord and saviour. I agree that we need to keep praying for ++ Justin as he embarks on the his ministry ahead. Les
