Justin Portal Welby (born 6 January 1956〔) is the 105th and current Archbishop of Canterbury and senior bishop in the Church of England. Welby was formerly the vicar of Southam, Warwickshire, and most recently was the Bishop of Durham, serving for just over a year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Diocese of Durham – New Bishop-Designate of Durham Announced )〕 As Archbishop of Canterbury he is ''Primate of All England'' and the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Welby's early career was in the oil industry. In 1989, he studied for ordination at St John's College, Durham. After several parochial appointments he became the Dean of Liverpool in 2007 and the Bishop of Durham in 2011. Welby's theology is reported as representing the evangelical tradition within Anglicanism. Some of his publications explore the relationship between finance and religion and, as a member of the House of Lords, he sits on the panel of the 2012 Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards. ==Early life and education== Welby was born on 6 January 1956 in London, England.〔 〕 His father, known as Gavin Bramhall James Welby, was born Bernard Gavin Weiler, in Ruislip, West London, in 1910, and died in 1977.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Person Page 8009 )〕 He was an alcoholic (see Alcoholism in family systems). Welby's paternal grandfather, Bernard Weiler, was a German Jewish immigrant and an importer of luxury items; shortly after the First World War broke out, he changed the family name to Welby.〔 Welby did not find out about his father's Jewish ancestry until he was an adult. Welby's mother was Jane Gillian Portal, born 1929, who had been one of Winston Churchill's personal secretaries from December 1949 until her marriage to Gavin Welby in April 1955; she once took a very young Welby to tea with the aged Churchill.〔(HTB Leadship Conference interview with Justin Welby ) Interview with Nicky Gumbel〕 Through his mother, Welby is connected to British and Empire politics and religion. Jane Portal was the daughter of Iris Butler (1905-2002), a journalist and historian, whose brother Rab became Conservative Deputy Prime Minister, later Baron Butler of Saffron Walden. Their father was Sir Montagu Butler, Governor of Central Provinces of British India between 1925 and 1933. He was the grandnephew of the first Bishop of Natal, John William Colenso. Welby's parents were divorced in 1959. His mother married banker and company director Charles Williams in 1975 (who, when elevated to the House of Lords as a Labour life peer in 1985, took the title of Baron Williams of Elvel). Welby's stepfather was the nephew of career soldier Brigadier Arnold de Lérisson Cazenove and Elizabeth Laura Gurney, of the family of Quaker bankers and reformers. Welby was educated at St Peter's School, Seaford and Eton. He went to Trinity College, Cambridge where he received a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in history and law in 1978; as per tradition, this was later promoted to a Master of Arts (MA (Cantab)) degree.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=18 April 2008 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Justin Welby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
