The last Archbishop of Canterbury was a Druid, but this one is not, at least that I know of.

“Archbishop becomes druid”

Oh, great. I suppose that's one reason why so many young folks are turning away from the English church...silliness like that cannot command respect.

Did you read the article? The “Druid” claim is a bogus headline. Just a Welsh ceremonial honor....and real druids are a lot weirder than that!

A bit like joining the Society of Cincinnati here (a group for descendants of Revolutionary War officers), which I bet has some odd ceremony involved.

Rowan Williams was the weak ineffective theologically liberal Archbishop before Welby, the current weak, ineffective Archbishop. Both, I think, were chosen because they were nice, pastoral kind of guys...who seem to get along with everyone. Both have been about as weak and compromising as one can imagine. Just NOT the kind of leadership you want when the Church is getting assaulted by apostates within and secularism without.
