This interview was published by the Daily Telegraph on 21 March 2013, but there has been so much happening this week that I have only just seen it.
I tend to agree with Archbishop Justin and think this sounds like a constructive approach and potential collaboration between Church and State. What do you think?

Thank-you very much for the link, Chris. I think this is by far the best piece of journalism I have seen about ++Justin. It is hard not to draw the conclusion that ‘someone, somewhere’ had him in mind for this role for a very long time…
I don’t set great store by the accuracy of articles in the Daily Mail, but this one contains many credible direct quotes from Canon Andrew about his, and Justin’s, hair-raising experiences as negotiators in the Niger Delta c.2005.
Sorry, Chris, you forgot the link I think? I was also interested in this piece on your FB page linking to a story about the Nigerian experience: http://www.alashock.com/2012/11/revealed-how-new-archbishop-of.html
Sorry about that – the link you posted contains nearly the whole story complete with pictures from the Dail Mail article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2231115/Justin-Welby-Archbishop-blindfolded-rebels-Kalashnikovs-jungle-mercy-mission.html
