Abp. Begins Tour of Asia

Adapted from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s website

Archbishop Justin Welby and his wife, Caroline, arrived in the Philippine capital of Manila yesterday at the start of a 10-day visit to Anglican provinces in the Philippines and Oceania.

The archbishop will visit the primates of the Provinces of the Philippines; Papua New Guinea; Melanesia; Australia; and Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.

The trip forms part of the archbishop’s plan to visit all his fellow primates around the Anglican Communion during his first 18 months in office.
