From The Church Times-THE Archbishop of Canterbury visited Barbados, Guatemala, and Mexico this week, as part of an ambitious plan to visit every Anglican Primate during his first 18 months in office.
Archbishop Welby flew to Barbados on Thursday of last week with his wife, Caroline, for a two-day visit, at the invitation of the Archbishop of the Church of the Province of the West Indies and Bishop of Barbados, Dr John Holder. The Archbishop met the Prime Minister of Barbados, Freundel Stuart, and the Governor General, Elliott Belgrave, and clergy from across the diocese.
On Friday, the Archbishop preached at Christ Church, Barbados. He said: "In this part of the world there is a history of the Church in the past having acted in oppression. We cannot forget that, in every age and every place, the Church is human, and humans make terrible mistakes and do terrible wrongs. But it is still the family of God."
On Saturday, the Archbishop and Mrs Welby travelled to Guatemala for another two-day visit, at the invitation of the Archbishop of the Anglican Church of the Central American Region and Bishop of Guatemala, the Most Revd Armando Guerra Soria.
