...also, in many respects, a baffling one. The most prominent guerrilla group, the Patriotic Front headed by Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe, denied responsibility, though most white Rhodesians felt the Front-or some segment of it-was implicated. Blaming guerrillas whom he did not identify, the black Archbishop of Salisbury, the Most Rev.

Then Jimmy and Rosalynn walked hand in hand back home down the avenue...
Neither the Pope nor the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. F. Donald Coggan, endorsed the agreement; they simply approved its publication for discussion. Not until the 1980s is the commission expected to draft its final proposal for ending the split, which began 4% centuries ago when King Henry VIII rejected the authority of Pope Clement VII so that an autonomous Church of England would grant an annulment of his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon...
