King’s coronation will be 'deeply representative' of nation, says Archbishop of Canterbury

The Archbishop of Canterbury has said the King’s coronation will be “deeply representative” of the nation. It came as he denied claims of tensions with the monarch over the involvement of faith leaders.

Justin Welby replied “absolutely not” when asked about reports of “tension” between church leaders and Charles. They claimed the issue had delayed the publication of the ceremony’s order of service.

The King has championed interfaith dialogue and celebrated the major non-Christian faiths practised in the UK for many years. But the Mail on Sunday reported church leaders were resisting what they claimed was the King’s desire for a more active role for faith leaders from religions such as Judaism and Islam during the coronation on May 6.
