- Notes
- "The Most Rev. Justin Welby was enthroned as the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury in a March 21 [2013] service that celebrated the diversity of the Anglican Communion. More than 2,000 people from around the world gathered in Canterbury Cathedral for a celebration blending traditional elements of Anglican worship with contemporary music, vibrant Ghanaian dancing and drums, a Punjabi hymn and a blessing spoken in French. Guests included Church of England clergy and lay people, including the Prince of Wales, the prime minister [David Cameron] and a host of ecumenical guests. All but one of the Anglican Communion primates attended". "Following his sermon, five Communion representatives presented gifts symbolic of their home regions. The bishop of Jerusalem, Suheil Dawani, presented a wooden cross; Ms. Adele Finney of Canada shared the gift of water; Mrs. Real Kewasis of Kenya brought packets of bread and milk; the Rev. Peter Koon, provincial secretary of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui, presented a rice picture in the shape of his province; and the Rev. Desire Mukanirwa of the Democratic Republic of Congo brought a wooden carving expressing the desire for peace".
