Anglican archbishops to star atop Christmas tree

LONDON - The Anglican leaders of the Church of England are available to star on top of your Christmas tree.

A souvenir company has produced miniature versions of Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and Archbishop of York John Sentamu.

"It's an alternative to your traditional Christmas fairy," Caroline Apfel of the St Nicolas company told The Sunday Telegraph.

A proportion of the proceeds -- the ornaments were hand-made by women working in cottage industries in Thailand -- will go towards restoration funds at York and Canterbury cathedrals.
