James O'Brien meets Archbishop Justin Welby | LBC
Рет қаралды 13,590
3 ай бұрынThis episode contains discussion of suicide. Viewer discretion is advised.
Growing up, Justin Welby thought his home life was normal. It wasn't until he was a teenager that he realised being brought up by an abusive, alcoholic father was anything but. He found faith and the love of God as a student at Cambridge, bringing with it a sense of peace and security. He graduated and then spent 11 years working in the oil industry.
From such unlikely beginnings, Justin Welby’s faith became his life. He was ordained a priest in 1993 and has been the Archbishop of Canterbury since 2013. He tells James about his struggles growing up with an alcoholic father and why he speaks out on political issues like the Rwanda Bill.

This was a brilliant interview with Archbishop Justin Welby. I only came to know of him as the archbishop who married Harry & Meghan. I was impressed with the emphasis he put on marriage and the weight of the vows. His journey from where he came from, his upbringing, him giving his life to Christ to where he is now. Has he written any books?

Thank you. Was expecting to be irritated by sanctimonious proselytising but was instead fascinated by Welby's openness, honesty, humility and clarity of thought.

Pity the elected house is Tory…..! After 14 years I have to say it……! My party and no way will I ever vote Tory again…! As to the Archbishop with full respect to him…., he is a very diplomatic person and I can’t blame him. His past is extraordinarily fascinating and incredibly real, that must have marked his life, then as well as his future life……

I had hoped for a slightly more robust style from JOB. It would have been interesting to hear the Archbishops current opinion on Paula Vennells. Given that he apparently argued for her to be made Bishop of London. I'm sure his support would have been most graciously received by the Sub Postmasters.

There is something that doesn’t pass the sniff test with this one..self-deprecation and humility are two entirely different things. Social justice was at the heart of Jesus’s teaching. I do think this Archbishop loves the power and sought it out.

I can never respect a man who turned his back on his fellow Christians in Gaza. And even refused to meet the head of the Christian church in Gaza, for political reasons. And he is supposed to be the head of that church I can never ever respect a man like that.
@upendasana7857 3 ай бұрын
Agreed,his stance and lack of speaking out on Gaza is reprehensible plus I live near Canterbury and overall the total lack of the churches presence in the city in terms of supporting the homeless etc is really quite uninspiring.Feels like old school upper class boys network full of upper class toffs

Great interview; just looks a little amateur -- Whoever miked that doesn't know how to wrap the cable round the boom and stand so that it's tidy, and also how not to position the mikes so that they're so prominently in shot. Of course, the main problem is wrong mikes for the location, but I guess that the reverberation there prevented more distant miking and those were all that the team had brought with them ...
