| Description | The Bishop of Durham, Justin Welby, is set to become the next Archbishop of Canterbury.
It is thought the 56-year-old will be named on Friday as the replacement for Rowan Williams, who steps down in December after 10 years in the post.
Bishop Welby became a bishop only a year ago when he took up the Church of England's fourth most senior post.
On Tuesday, leading bookmakers stopped taking bets on the succession after a run of bets on Bishop Welby.
The Daily Telegraph reports that Bishop Welby has agreed to accept the post. The Times newspaper says he will be named as the new Primate this week. |
