The Archbishop of Canterbury has pleaded with the Church of England's Catholic Anglicans to remain in communion with Canterbury and resist joining the Pope's new Anglican Ordinariate. He referred to the 'chaotic and uncertain' future of the Anglican Communion but insisted that it was still possible to be holy, Catholic and Anglican.

Preaching at All Saints Margaret Street on All Saints' Day in a sermon just released to me today [family commitments meant I couldn't attend the service, to my great regret], Dr Rowan Williams made reverent reference to the relics of St Therese.

He said it was possible 'to lead lives of Catholic holiness even in the Communion of the See of Canterbury.' the rest
