Canterbury Ends Visit
Diocesan Press Service. November 1, 1962 [IV-2]
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Arthur Michael Ramsey, ended a three week visit to the United States after preaching at the Installation of the Rt. Rev. William F. Creighton, D.D. as Bishop of Washington November 1 in the National Cathedral. His Grace returned to England Nov. 2.
In his sermon, the Archbishop said, "As he leads and directs his Diocese in the strategy of the holy war, the Bishop is aware of the urgent issues of the day." He listed the issues as the problem of race, peace, and affluence.
In an address made on Nov. 1 at a National Press Club luncheon, the Archbishop said that the free world can best preserve its freedom by exporting it. ."Possession of democratic institutions of itself is not enough. It is essential that high ideals permeate a democratic society and extend abroad," he said.
Dr. Ramsey came to Washington after participating in the House of Bishops meeting in Columbia, S.C. Ct. 27 to 30. He led a Quiet Day for the Bishops on Oct. 28 and preached at an anniversary service at Trinity Church, Columbia on Oct. 29.
The Archbishop, accompanied by Mrs. Ramsey and his chaplain, the Rev. John Andrew, arrived in the United States Oct. 12 and then visited the Dioceses of New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Los Angeles, California, Virginia, and Washington. In particular he visited General, Seabury- Western, and Virginia Seminaries.
