The theme of the recent Lambeth Conference convened by the Archbishop of Canterbury was ‘God’s Church for God’s World’. As Christians we know that ‘whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him’. Indeed, power and how it is used has been a theme through much of what has been said by Archbishop Justin. Not a surprise perhaps, given one of his earliest memories is having tea while weeping with Winston Churchill. Memories of power are, well, powerful!
