Justin Welby: ‘I am constantly consumed with horror’ at the way the Church has treated gay people
by James Macintyre, Christian Today:
Justin Welby has opened up about how his own failings make him angry and said that he spends “a lot of time feeling a fraud” in a personal and at times emotional interview at the Greenbelt Christian festival in Northamptonshire.
Speaking to the ‘vicar of Gogglebox’, television star Kate Bottley in front of hundreds of festival-goers, the Archbishop of Canterbury said that wherever he went he found people who could do his job “infinitely better” than he could.
And in surprisingly frank comments about same-sex relationships, Welby said that he “can’t see the road ahead” for the Church.
Before the banter-filled question and answer session, Welby was introduced by Christian Today’s Andy Walton who said: “One of [our guests] is the most high profile Christian in the country… and the other is the Archbishop of Canterbury”.
The Archbishop joked that “the fact that I’m Archbishop of Canterbury is one of the things that makes me seriously doubt the infallibility of God.”
