From The Guardian-The new archbishop of Canterbury made his debut on Radio 4's religious slot Thought for the Day – and admitted he hardly ever listens to it.
Questioned by presenters on the Today programme after giving his address, the Most Rev Justin Welby said it was not "deliberate", but tuning in to the daily feature did not fit in with his morning schedule.
Told they could not let him go from his Good Friday appearance without asking him a question, Welby, who is spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican communion as well as head of the Church of England, replied: "Oh dear."
Asked if reports that he never listens to the religious slot were true, he said: "Yes, it's not deliberate. I've got nothing against you, I think you are wonderful, you are absolutely marvellous right across the Today programme, without exception.
"But, it just doesn't fit in with what I am doing in the morning. Never would be an exaggeration, but I do very occasionally, but it is very rare."
