This book is a selection of more than 80 chronologically arranged "public utterances" from the first three and a half years of the primacy of the Most Reverend Robert Runcie, spiritual head of the 65 million-member Anglican Communion. Composed for a variety of occasions – including the visit of the Pope to Canterbury and the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer – the material addresses a wide range of topics. Included are excerpts from sermons and synodical addresses, statements on national issues, and responses to television interviewers.
