Bishops need to make time for stillness and silence if they are to find the strength to show leadership to the church, the Archbishop of Canterbury has told Malaysian church leaders.
Dr Rowan Williams was speaking in a sermon at the consecration of the new Bishop of West Malaysia, the Rt Rev Ng Moon Hing in St Mary's Cathedral, Kuala Lumpur, on Saturday 5 May.
A congregation of almost 900, sitting in the body of the church and its two extensions, heard Dr Williams describe life for a bishop as something that should first of all be listening to God.
