...archbishop spends more time at Canterbury than any other primate in recent memory; he makes the 70-mile trip to his cathedral almost every weekend to preside at Sunday Matins and Communion. Ramsey loves to visit country parishes, and often startles passers-by with his opening conversational gambit: "I'm the archbishop. Who are you?" He takes his honors lightly. When a U.S. newspaper photographer last year asked, "Archie, could you look this way, please?", Ramsey equably answered: "The name is Mike...
...spiritual battle-and it must. "It's not a question of the Anglican Church's losing ground," says the Rt. Rev. Edward Ralph Wickham, Suffragan Bishop of Middleton. "We've already lost it." Of 27 million Englishmen baptized in the church, only 3,000,000 receive Communion even once a year, and cathedral deans hollowly conduct their stately services before a silent...
Around the World. Ramsey is not concerned only with the sickness within the Church of England. He heads some scattered missionary outposts overseas, and as chief primate of the communion, keeps close watch on the pulse of all its daughter provinces. Much of the liaison between Canterbury and other churches is handled by the Rt. Rev. Stephen Bayne, 55, executive officer of the Anglican Communion.

...MIDDLE EAST. The Cambridge-taught Archbishop in Jerusalem, the Most Rev. Angus Campbell Maclnnes, governs a 3,500,000-sq.-mi. archdiocese of 150,000 Christian Jordanese, Lebanese, Turks, Iranians, Egyptians, Sudanese and Greeks, and operates one of two seminaries which expressly seek to serve all branches of the communion-St. George's College in Arab Jerusalem. Maclnnes' church is in communion with one branch of Christianity involved in an unedifying project: the zenophobic Arab Evangelical Episcopal Church, which plans to drop 50 psalms from its revised Prayer Book because they mention Israel...
River to the Sea. Some doomsayers argue that the Anglican Communion is dying. In a sense, nothing would please its leaders more. For by virtue of its doctrinal comprehensiveness, Anglicanism has also been traditionally an exceedingly ecumenical faith-even willing to surrender its own independence for the sake of God's "Coming Great Church." In the pursuit of spiritual brotherhood, many Anglican churches have ironed out some form of intercommunion with a faith outside the fellowship of Canterbury-the Church of England with the Church of Sweden, for example, and U.S. Episcopalians with the Philippine Independent Church...
