Anglican Head to Embark on 16-Day Visit to India

From Christian Post-

The head of the worldwide Anglican Communion is expected to arrive in India on Saturday, according to an announcement by the British High Commission in New Delhi.

Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams is scheduled to embark on a 16-day visit to India from Oct. 9 to 24 at the invitation of the Communion of Churches in India, the commission reported.

The Anglican leader is slated to travel across several cities in India, including Kolkata, Ranchi, Nagpur, New Delhi, Chennai, Vellore, Bangalore and Thiruvananthapuram.

During his visit, the archbishop will visit congregations and development initiatives of the Church of North India, the Church of South India and the Mar Thoma Church.

He will also meet civic and religious leaders in many places, including Hindu leaders in Bangalore, where he is scheduled to have a dialogue meeting.

“I look forward greatly to being back in India once more,” said the archbishop before leaving London for Kolkata. “Family connections, many friendships and the memory of two inspiring earlier visits mean that India is a special place for me, and I am grateful for the invitation to visit again.”
