| Description | The panel choosing the next archbishop of Canterbury is rumoured to be deadlocked after meeting in secrecy for three days last week.
The lack of a clear winner so far has led to speculation that the original frontrunner, the archbishop of York, John Sentamu, has divided the Crown Nominations Commission, and that he may even be out of the race.
Reports indicated that the 16-strong panel may also have ruled out the bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres.
It is understood the panel will be holding a further session, indicating it has been unable to agree on a candidate.
Other frontrunners in contention are the bishop of Durham, Justin Welby, and the bishop of Norwich, Graham James. |
