LAMBETH PALACE
Dear
Thank you for contacting Lambeth Palace about the Archbishop of Canterbury's recent guest-editorship of the New Statesman.
As you can imagine, we have received many hundreds of emails and letters, some two-thirds of which have been positive about what the Archbishop had to say.
This is very many more than Archbishop Rowan can reply to personally, much as he would like to, and as he’s currently away in Africa your message has been passed to me for reply.
The Archbishop believes very strongly that the Church is commissioned to stand by the most vulnerable in our society and that means that we have a duty to join the public discourse.
We won’t always agree with each other’s views, but Archbishop Rowan much appreciates your taking the time to express yours.
With sincere thanks again for writing to Archbishop Rowan.
Yours sincerely,
The Revd George Pitcher
The Archbishop’s Secretary for Public Affairs
Lambeth Palace, London , SE1 7JU
