...hour-long ecumenical service in Westminster Abbey was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Donald Coggan. He eulogized Lord Mountbatten for his "high enthusiasm and liberality of spirit, his integrity and flair for leadership, his dedication to the cause of freedom and justice ... He was so rare a person." After the buglers had sounded the last post and reveille, the coffin was taken to Waterloo Station for the final journey to Romsey, 87 miles southwest of London. There, in accordance with his wishes, Mountbatten was buried on the grounds of a 12th century abbey, his body facing...
...life to rescue one of his men under fire. The exploit won him the Military Cross. Last Friday, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's office announced that the onetime officer, Robert Alexander Kennedy Runcie, 57, will be assuming a rather different command. In January he will replace F. Donald Coggan, who is retiring at age 70 as Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of the Church of England and titular head of the world's 65 million Anglicans, including America's Episcopal Church...
...said of the U.S. "They actually enjoy confrontation and they tend to politicize where we play things down."

That left Anglican Bishop Mark Pae of Taejon, South Korea, a foe of women priests, who says that he agreed to consecrate the new bishops last November without realizing that a full-fledged schism was involved. On Jan. 16 he got an urgent telegram from F. Donald Coggan, the Archbishop of Canterbury. When he phoned Coggan, says Pae, the Archbishop "did not put any pressure on me" but "explained the gravity of the matter." The next day one of the bishops-to-be, C. Dale Doren of Pittsburgh, arrived in Taejon and spent a fruitless week trying...
Women Priests. Both Donald Coggan and Pope Paul desire eventual reunification. Their joint declaration last week, issued after the two men presided together over a prayer service in the Sistine Chapel, included a pledge "to live and work courageously in the hope of reconciliation and unity in our common Lord." Yet there was no further mention of intercommunion, and the prelates noted "serious obstacles both of the past and of recent origin." Presumably, the new obstacle is the ordination of women as priests in the Episcopal Church in the U.S., a move heartily approved by the visiting Archbishop and adamantly...
