Jesus and the powers, why does it take the Anglicans so long to choose an Archbishop?

What qualities should the Archbishop of Canterbury really have? How can spiritual practices help us deal with anxiety? And what does the Bible say about corrupted powers in our world? In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird unpack what it means to lead the Anglican Church, the role of the Archbishop as a unifier, and why true leadership needs spiritual depth, not just management skills. They share how practices like the Psalms help Christians face spiritual anxiety and keep their focus on God. Finally, they tackle what happens when good powers become corrupted, and how the church must speak truth to power and model a wisely ordered world.
