Anglicans elect new leader

Former oil executive Justin Welby was yesterday named as the next Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual head of the world's Anglicans, in a move aimed at healing schisms over gay and female bishops.
Welby, 56, who only became the Bishop of Durham a year ago, said the announcement by British Prime Minister David Cameron's Downing Street office was "astonishing and exciting".
He will replace Rowan Williams, who will retire in January after a decade spent battling divisions in the worldwide Anglican of around 80 million people.
Welby would be enthroned as archbishop in Canterbury Cathedral, in southeastern England, on March 21, 2013, the Archbishop of Canterbury's official office said in a statement.
Welby worked in the oil industry for 11 years before leaving to train for the Anglican priesthood and was first ordained as a deacon in 1992. "I was unable to get away from a sense of God calling," he said in an interview.
