Saw the words "Bishop of Durham" in a Guardian article and my heart soared, until I read more closely and found out it's the new guy that's being rumored to be the frontrunner.....such a shame...
You might like Justin Welby, actually. I don't like him much, but I'm also not yet entirely familiar with him.
Obviously he's not nearly as much a heavyweight as his predecessor, though.
Regardless of theological views, I think Wright would have been a fine choice for the job had he not retired. As someone that strongly backed Williams but has a pretty firm foot in the evangelical world, and just as a thoughtful and winsome communicator, I think he could have done a lot of good for the image of the position.
