Not as high-tootin' as what recently happened at the Vatican but just as important.
This;
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21860447 was welcome news.
Archbishop Welby - the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury and spiritual leader of the Anglican communion - said: "You see gay relationships that are just stunning in the quality of the relationship." While he said he did not doubt the Church's policy on same-sex relationships, he was "challenged as to how we respond to it". "The Church of England holds very firmly, and continues to hold to the view, that marriage is a lifelong union of one man to one woman," he said. "At the same time, at the heart of our understanding of what it is to be human, is the essential dignity of the human being. And so we have to be very clear about homophobia." Asked if the Church would turn a blind eye to some gay relationships, he said: "It's not a blind eye - it's about loving people as they are and where they are. "You'll find that in every church and you'll find that because it imitates the character and the practice of Jesus himself."
This is probably the most...what's the best word here...'correct' statement an Archbishop of Canterbury has ever made on this matter, certainly more sustantial than anything Rowan Williams said. On the ceremony itself he's being assisted in his 'enthronement' by women. More soon.
