BREAKING: Next Prime Minister Will Give Up The Right To Appoint The Archbishop Of Canterbury

Or at least so reports the Telegraph.

If this is so, this is huge and excellent news. I was about to write a post that the biggest long term problem with the Anglican Communion is its Erastian structure, namely that vital powers are given to an appointee of the Prime Minister of England.

It appears part of that problem is about to be done away.


A big hat tip to titusonenine.
