Archbishop Of Canterbury Delivers Sermon

Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury delivers a sermon at the coronation ceremony. “What is given today is for the gain of all, for Jesus Christ announced a kingdom in which the poor and oppressed are free from the chains of injustice, the blind see the bruised and broken-hearted and healed that kingdom, sets the aims of all righteous government, all authority. The kingdom also sets the means of all government and authority. For Jesus doesn’t grasp or hold onto status,” he said.

“The king of kings, Jesus Christ, was anointed not to be served, but to serve. He creates the unchangeable law of good authority that with the privilege of power comes the duty to serve. Service is love in action. We see love in our care for the most vulnerable, the way we encourage the young in the conversation of the natural world,” he added.
