Dr Sentamu turns his enthronement into a party
When it came to the Peace – which the Archbishop signed for the deaf, as he did all his key pronouncements – that, too, was made joyful by the Luo Dancers and Singers, Mothers’ Union members from Stratford. Dressed in white silk with blue sashes, and carrying stiff bouquets of flowers, they resembled a wedding party as they sang “We are marching in the light of God”. As they sang, Archbishop Sentamu whipped off his mitre and joined the line of drummers, while the Minster unbent and expanded with the informality of it all.
From the crucible comes the hardest,strongest and most brilliant metal.
