...Augustine of Canterbury. After a centuries-long struggle for precedence between the two sees of Canterbury and York, Pope Innocent VI (1352-62) made the Archbishop of Canterbury Primate of All England. The Archbishop of York was granted the lesser title Primate of England; the Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. Donald Coggan is the incumbent. Primacy does not make Canterbury head of his church (the Queen is). Yet as first bishop of England, he ranks, in protocol, next to the royal family and ahead of the Prime Minister; as much as anyone, he speaks the mind of the Church...
Beyond the Fringe. At first glance, the Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. Arthur Michael Ramsey, 100th to govern at Canterbury, may seem like something left out of Beyond the Fringe. "He's one continuous anecdote," says a clerical friend. "He looks like a character, and he knows...
Such measures may help the Church of England gird for spiritual battle-and it must. "It's not a question of the Anglican Church's losing ground," says the Rt. Rev.

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. A former bishop of Olympia, Wash., Bayne travels more than 150,000 miles a year coordinating everything from missionary work to seminary needs for the churches, says, "There isn't a church that doesn't have a nickel...
...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...
