Anglican leader Dr. Donald Coggan, who as Archbishop of Canterbury ranks just below the royal family in in Britain, defended Prince Charles and said he was making a major statement on the need for greater church unity and as such, I think he is saying the right thing. Dr. Stuart Blanch, ArchlxsBop of York and number two in the Church of England, hierarchy, said the prince echoed what many of us in the churches have been saying for a very long time, He said he did not believe anyone interpreted Charles' remarks as an attack on the church in general or the Roman church in particular.
