CANTERBURY, England (RNS) In a lengthy interview in The Times of London, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby predicted that the Anglican Communion might not hold together because of strong disagreements on the ordination of women as bishops and full rights for LGBT people.

The interview came at the end of Welby’s visits to each of the 38 provinces (or country-states) that make up the Anglican Communion.
