The Crown Nominations Commission is to hold its final meeting this month, where it will decide on the person to become the next Archbishop of Canterbury. Interviews were held over the summer with short listed candidates.
The procedure is long and secret, but there is widespread speculation – and betting – on the likely outcome. The Sunday programme on BBC Radio 4, asked the Church Times senior writer Madeleine Davies to guide listeners through the most talked about candidates.
Her list was: The Bishop of Dover, Rose Hudson Wilkin; The Bishop of Leicester, Martyn Snow; The Bishop of Salisbury, Stephen Lake; The Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Joanne Grenfell; The Bishop of Bath and Wells, Michael Beasley; The Bishop of Chelmsford, Guli Francis-Dehquani; The Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally.
