I think the Archbishop ought to go read the Apostle Paul in Romans 13:1-5. Note that large churches in our area are thinking about streaming the service.

"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience." (Rom 13:1-5, ESV)

God is the ultimate authority.

yea, listen to the politician who supports abortion and be subjected to the Virginia Governor who supports the killing of born children resulting from botched abortions. Ok, sure.
