Phillip Jensen, Dean of SydneyPhillip Jensen continues his brief series on the coming Archbishop’s election, and asks; “What is an Archbishop?”

“When it comes to electing an Archbishop the natural questions are ‘What does the role involve?’ and therefore ‘What are the characteristics or competencies that we are looking for in a candidate?’ However, the answers to these questions are quite different to most people’s expectations as they are not the most appropriate questions to ask.”
