The second important thing is that it draws on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s greatest strength, which is spirituality.
We were welcomed by the dean. There was singing, as has been characteristic of all our gatherings, from all over the world. There were two addresses by Archbishop Rowan. They were both thought-provoking.
We had a period of reflection which provided a time for prayer.
The overwhelming impression I have today is the singing in the cathedral. When the bishops sang, the sound would linger. It felt like the prayers of the bishops mingling with the hundreds of thousands of people who have preceded us.
