The angels in the Bible offer a good job description for the Church, according to the former Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rt Revd Lord Rowan Williams. Speaking in Christ Church Taney on the Feast of St Michael and All Angels, he said that the angels in the Scriptures “turn to God, they love what they see and they speak it”. “What a job description for the church – we turn to God, we love what we see and we speak it. That’s when our witness begins,” he said.
