Enthronement of Justin Welby, 105th Archbishop of Canterbury (Highlights) - (c) BBC 2013

[@AntPDC]

It is dismaying to read the deeply visceral hatred in many of the comments here - the more so because they are from people who call themselves Christians. Have some perspective: take heart, it is I, do not be afraid.

[@AntPDC]

+Nova Critter Oh I know, but censorship doesn't appeal.

[@happyuk06]

+AntPDC Wake up and take a cold shower. Saintliness is not dumbness. Welby is not a Christian and actively works with the Woolf Institute, a George Soros backed organization that claims Britain is no longer a Christian country. Aside from Welby's grubby links to Soros corporate funding, he is gross hypocrite - a Patron of the Woolf Institute which had commissioned a 'report' saying Britain is not longer a Christian country, yet when he was interviewed for the 'report' he acted as though he was an independent bystander. I don't trust Welby as far as I could throw a piano.

Catholics are liberal hypocrites with a global agenda and stopped being Christians years ago. Be prepared to be called what you are and stop whining.

[@aahlstrom93]

I'm Orthodox but I kind of agree with the flak this denomination gets. They marry gay people and care more about liberal progressive politics than Tradition of the Apostles. Episcopalianism in USA is almost dead and Anglican show up rate is abyssmal. Something 9%. A heavy price to pay for gay sex, women priests, Qur'an readings in churches, etc. etc.

[@jackd4194]

>deeply visceral hatred >people who call themselves Christians. >Have some perspective: take heart, it is I, do not be afraid. Why do you think that people who have legitimate issues & criticisms with non-biblical and non-traditional behavior by Anglicanism and this Primate are "visceral" and ought to be characterized as "hatred"? There is no question that Anglicanism has changed and departed from many of the tenets it once held - shouldn't such change be questioned? Or is only orthodoxy to be questioned? I for one feel these departures are mistakes and are errors. My expression of same isn't "hatred" - or even "deeply visceral"; it is an intellectual statement as a result of questioning the wisdom of these acts and changes. Saying that something is wrong or that one thinks some change or position is an error, and expressing dismay at it is NOT the same thing as "hatred." Although, accusing us of "deeply visceral hatred" is a sure-fire way of dismissing us not taking our objections seriously, or honestly. Just because someone says "...it is I...", claiming to be Jesus, doesn't mean they are Jesus, or even speak in his name. Have some perspective: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

I'm no expert on this, but "The Anglican Journal"reports: "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is always invited to the enthronement of a new Archbishop of Canterbury. She does not attend, however, and instead sends a member of the Royal Family in her place. “She’s invited, but it’s really the Archbishop’s day,” explained the Dean of Canterbury Robert Willis, when asked why the Queen does not attend the historic event"". Hope this clears up any doubt.

It's understandable that the Queen (as Sovereign and Defender of the Faith) doesn't attend enthronements because the focus would move away from the Archbishop to the Monarch, and thus become a distraction from proceedings which are essentially religious, not secular. As can be seen in this video, on this occasion the Queen was represented by the Prince of Wales, as heir to the throne. Best wishes.

Also, why at the end of prayers, they say "ah-men" instead of "ey-men" in those churches like the Anglican church, Methodist church, Presbyterian church, Lutheran church, and other Mainline Protestant churches? Just to ask.... Thanks.

It's mostly only Americans and Irish Protestants who pronounce amen "ey-men". Not sure why; something to do I think with the Great Vowel Shift. I'm sure some linguistics expert could enlighten us all.

While in my opinion, it is a pity that the Church of England is no longer in complete communion either with the Orthodox Church of Constantinople or with the See of Rome, I am happy to see that they continue the old customs and traditions found in the music and the liturgical celebrations in their churches and commend them for it; something that many have found rather lacking in the majority of Roman Catholic churches (particularly in North America), which seems to have forgotten so much of its rich heritage. I also hope that as the servant of Christ, the the Archbishop of Canterbury, along with those in communion with him will continue to commit themselves to the true service of the poorest of the poor and the oppressed throughout the world (including animals).

Interesting video. I do hope in the reunification of Anglicanism and Rome. Do you mind explaining the ritual a bit? Why did he hit with his crosier the door 3 times to be opened?

[@AntPDC]

As I understand it, it is a bit of historical mummery. At the great west door of the cathedral, he is the Archbishop-elect, and is asking permission to enter, as a courtesy, and to perpetuate the idea (to the faithful) that the church by then had any freedom in the matter. The reality is that he is "elected" by the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral by command of the Sovereign. King Henry VIII's Reformation made the Church of England an "established" church, bound up by law in the civil polity of the Realm, under the Crown. Happy for others more knowledgeable than I to inform this thread!

[@Grmario85]

What is the origin and purpose of a new bishop being questioned by a layperson?

[@AntPDC]

I believe it was ++ Welby's innovation. I rather like it. And I wouldn't myself use the word "layperson" in this context because it is suggestive of lofty Pharisaical pride. Here, Archbishop Justin is being questioned by a member of his flock as their shepherd. I'm pretty sure that Jesus Christ himself would approve.

[@DannyEastVillage]

As shepherd of the laity as well as to the clergy, a bishop is answerable to both. In the Orthodox churches, the laity are asked in the consecration ceremony to give the patriarch permission to proceed. One dissenting voice - whether from another bishop, a priest, or a layperson - can be enough to railroad the entire proceedings at least until an investigation is completed.

[@AntPDC]

Although the entire ceremony is currently available via BBC iPlayer, copyright and TV-licensing reasons prevent its being made available outside the UK. In this particular case, one wonders why the rules couldn't have been relaxed in recognition of the fact that this event was of deep interest to the worldwide Anglican Communion. Perhaps in future the BBC and the Anglican Church might agree on a more accessible approach to such content, judging by the interest expressed here. Warm wishes.

[@AntPDC]

Thank you, but I think the BBC would be very cross with me had I uploaded the entire service. Best wishes.
