Don't care either way as a minority interest

So the next Archbishop of Canterbury has been announced as Justin Welby.
He will take on the Church of England's most senior post at a ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral on 21 March 2013.
Bishop Welby will become the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury, replacing Rowan Williams who retires in December after 10 years in the role.
Whilst he's said, "We must have no truck with any form of homophobia in any part of the Church. The Church of England is part of the worldwide Church, and has responsibilities that come from those links. What the Church does here deeply affects the already greatly suffering churches in places... like Nigeria."
Seems on that and many other issues the UK has moved on already
Does the role of Archbishop of Canterbury have any real relevance in current Society ?
Be interested to hear your views, as like many of my generation and since the 'Church' (of whichever christian denomination) is pretty much a minority and daily irrelevant thing.
Is it just another hobby or past-time like bowling, dominoes, line dancing, etc. for those with a minority interest in such things ?

A reformed oil executive. His cup runneth over.
Rowan Williams was very cerebral - a scholar of religion. Some say unsuited to the post. Perhaps he thought so too.
Having only listened so far to one speech by the incumbent in waiting, Justin Welby appears too fanatical for my liking. Every other word was God and Jesus interspersed with his own achievements.
Not my cup of tea. Reminds me too much of the overbearing bible pushers you can't get rid of on the high street or your doorstep.

The new Archbishop is just paying lip service, it is as simple as that.

It's the head of a religion - by definition a minority group. Nothing to do with me - I'm an athiest. And his opinions SHOULD & MUST have no effect on my life.
Although I am surprised Arch Bish of York - John Sentamu was passed over. dunno

I suppose if you must have a Church and all that goes with it then someone has to occupy the senior role.....
