What is really needed here is for the good archbishop himself to lead the way. What a wonderful thing it would be if he embraced the Holy Father who, in turn, embraced him back and said "Welcome home!" The entire Anglican communion would collapse like a deck of cards, but at least their leader would have paved the way. A wonderful opportunity exists for faiths to come together, but it needs a strong leader to make it happen. Let's pray for the Archbishop of Canterbury because the burden is his.
