Justin Welby • Thy Kingdom Come, tongues, Brexit, LGBT and church unity 

I respect you immensely as Archbishop, Justin. A true, humble man of prayer.

Hearing what people who are "aggrieved" (e.g. LGBT people) are saying is one thing, changing 2000 year old church doctrine is quite another, and the Archbishop rather skirted around this critical issue here.

Pastoral sensitivity is very important...but saying something is acceptable (and to be celebrated) when it is actually sinful is very serious. Of course the baptismal liturgy is a change doctrinally. The CofE is in a very serious position. How can he say the Reformation was a tragedy?

He says we shouldn't be tribal or categorical about Charismata (healing, tongues), but wears a dog collar and talks about Anglican rituals

As relevant in 2023 as it was when first done

I watched his speech today going on about the RNLI saving migrants we pay for the RNLI to save our lives not people who put there own lives in danger

I've read the comments, whether I agree with some or disagree with others, we all must adhere to the fact that the Bible is truth and we are to love oneanother regardless. Much prayer required for all of creation right now. Do pray brothers and sisters, blessings and love x

I would like to say his opinion matters in public life, but he’s increasingly becoming an irrelevance. And he’s out of step with much of public opinion. The queen really needs to have a word with him.

"It's no longer an Anglican thing". That's a shame.

The reformation a tragedy? Really? Get another job Justin!

“I don’t think it’s unique. I think it’s biblical!”

Wonderful, very inspiring

I'm deeply impressed and wish His Grace the best. Perhaps I'm impressed because the expression of Anglicanism in my country across the pond has only a few bishops worth listening to and a whole lot of clunkers with mostly social justice agendas. He is so modest and self-effacing, and his deep faith rooted in scripture comes through. He also knows about disagreements in the church and treats that subject with refreshing candor.. The church has always been divided from the days of the early councils right through the Middle Ages. Only misinformed traditionalists cling to a fiction that there was a golden age of agreement and pure untroubled belief. If so, when and where was it?

Tremendously encouraging to and helpful. Thank you, Archbishop.

Respect wonderful man of God

Would love to know how the CofE interrupts excommunication in light of church holiness (1 Cor 5)? Externally it seems to be include and discuss!

In this interview the Archbishop, aware no doubt of past criticism of him, says that he isn’t seeking unity over truth, yet when asked about same sex marriage/homosexuality he can’t manage to separate the truth from the pastoral issues long enough to make a single truth statement about homosexuality and same sex marriage. And the interviewer acts as if that’s acceptable because presumably it was in his mind understandable that the Archbishop wouldn’t want to make a clear statement about same sex relationships to avoid being insensitive. And so we are left having to presume that neither the Archbishop nor the interviewer can manage to keep truth and unity separate even when the worldwide Anglican Church is about to be torn in two. That neither person felt a greater obligation to be helpful at such a critical time is beyond me.

President Trump has an evangelical 'spiritual adviser' Paula White who speaks in tongues ,

What about the new baptismal liturgy for people who have transed back to their original gender/sex that they had come away from?
