                   Britain Names New Archbishop of Canterbury

   by VOA News

   Britain's government says a new leader of the Church of England has
   been selected -- former businessman and current Bishop of Durham Justin
   Welby.
   Prime Minister David Cameron's office made the announcement Friday,
   after a long wait for the selection of a successor to the outgoing
   Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams.

   Welby is against gay marriage but supports ordination of female bishops
   -- two issues that have divided the Anglican church. He spent years in
   the oil business before joining the ministry and rapidly ascending
   through its ranks. He has spent only a year as a bishop.
