Worldwide Nominations Urged for Head of Anglican Communion

Episcopal News Service. July 10, 1990 [90184J]

Addressing the Manchester (England) Diocesan Synod on June 16, Bishop Stanley Booth-Clibborn said that "a clear recognition of our changing situation" demands that Anglicans consider non-United Kingdom nominees for the position of archbishop of Canterbury. "There are, for example, far more worshipping Anglicans in Nigeria than there are in England today," the bishop said.
