I don’t normally mark business meetings in Ogblog. But this one, with the Archbishop of Canterbury, deserves a mention, if only to mark the occasion.
It was a very productive and interesting meeting.
I had met both of Archbishop Justin’s predecessors: Archbishop Rowan at a lunch a couple of years earlier…
…and Archbishop George around 1999 when I was doing work with The Children’s Society…
…but Archbishop Justin is, to date, the only one with whom I have had a proper meeting.
Writing this just over 10 years later, my key thought is, “could that meeting really have been 10 years ago?” Yes.
