TV-PG
S18 • E11 Jan 27, 2014 30mHARDtalk speaks to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. He has just embarked on a tour of four African countries, all touched by vicious and bloody conflict: South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi.
It is part of his mission to visit as many communities in the 80-million strong Anglican Church worldwide. Can he help heal the divisions in these conflict-ridden countries? And what is his answer to critics who say that religion itself is partly to blame for ethnic hatred and killings.
Also, the Church is polarised on issues such as same-sex marriage and gay priests. Can the Archbishop keep the Church together?
