The new archbishop later declared to the service that he solemnly committed himself to the service of the Anglican Communion,toms shoes coupon. Earlier in the day, Welby talked to the BBC about some of the issues that have dogged his predecessors and led to deep divisions within the church. He acknowledged that many gays have enduring relationships of "stunning" quality a fact he said that has "deeply challenged" his own views on gay marriage. He also predicted in a Channel Five interview that there will be a female archbishop in the future despite the failure to pass legislation backing the idea last year.

Those in favor included India and Brazil, while those opposed included Pakistan, Venezuela and Indonesia. The resolution followed a U.N. report alleging the government may be to blame for tens of thousands of civilian deaths during the military campaign to defeat the rebels.
