...Donald Coggan, 64, named by the Queen last week as the 101st Archbishop of Canterbury, may be the last primate chosen by this method. He will take over from A. Michael Ramsey, who will retire in November at the age of 70, a church that is struggling to gain greater independence from the state* and, above all, to survive despite the enormous apathy among its members...
...known as a fine preacher, administrator and scholar. Another leading candidate was Bishop John Howe, who administers the worldwide Anglican Consultative Council and who, at 53, may yet have a chance at the top post. Coggan is generally viewed as an interim leader; he is expected to follow Ramsey's precedent and retire at 70, which will give him only five years in office.

Hoffa says Kennedy was behind some of the discriminatory treatment he got in Lewisburg, particularly relating to job assignments.

Donald Coggan, Archbishop of York, is now tied at 3 to 1 with Bishop...
Arthur Michael Ramsey, 69, surges majestically up the aisle of his own Canterbury Cathedral, a member of the congregation says, "you feel all the power and authority of Christendom." Last week Ramsey announced that, come his 70th birthday in November, he will step down as 100th Archbishop of Canterbury. A determined ecumenist, Ramsey became in 1966 the first Cantuar to officially meet a Pope in 600 years. In avuncular fashion, he even made the swinging scene, telling his fellow clergy to stop being scandalized by topless fashions. He himself shocked his brethren in the middle of an argument about church...
