Statement by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams



Pope John Paul was a leader of manifest holiness and a faithful and prayerful friend of the Anglican Church.

There will be time in the days ahead for the proper tributes to bepaid; for now we remember his life and ministry with thankfulness and hold the church that he led in our thoughts and prayers.
