Give Archbishop bet winnings to the church - Welby

From Durham-

HAVING been unveiled as the next Archbishop of Canterbury in London on Friday (November 9), Justin Welby returned to his day job at the weekend – still displaying the mix of humour and drive which has fuelled his rapid rise to the top of the Church of England. Mark Tallentire reports.

“BECAUSE speaking generally, I’m not a horse. I think that’s a really important point to get across.”

Perhaps not words you would expect from the next head of the worldwide Anglican Church; but then Justin Portal Welby, still for a few months the Bishop of Durham, is perhaps not whom you would expect, either.

His appointment to succeed Rowan Williams is still a surprise even to him, he says, and still hasn’t sunk in.
