Rowan Douglas Williams Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Rowan Douglas Williams, Baron Williams of Oystermouth Template:Post-nominals (born 14 June 1950) is an Anglican bishop, poet and theologian. He was the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, Metropolitan of the Province of Canterbury and Primate of All England, offices he held from December 2002 to December 2012. Williams was previously Bishop of Monmouth and Archbishop of Wales, making him the first Archbishop of Canterbury in modern times not to be appointed from within the Church of England. He spent much of his earlier career as an academic at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford successively. He speaks three languages and reads at least nine. He has since described his spoken German as a 'disaster area' and said that he is 'a very clumsy reader and writer of Russian'.The primacy of Williams was marked by speculation that the Anglican Communion (in which the Archbishop of Canterbury is the leading figure) was on the verge of fragmentation. Williams worked to keep all sides talking to one another. Notable events in his primacy included the rejection by a majority of dioceses of his proposed Anglican Covenant and, in the final General Synod of his tenure, the failure to secure a sufficient majority for a measure to allow the appointment of women as bishops in the Church of England.Williams stood down as Archbishop of Canterbury on 31 December 2012 and became Master of Magdalene College at Cambridge University in January 2013. Later in 2013 he became Chancellor of the University of South Wales. Justin Welby was appointed as his successor as Archbishop of Canterbury on 9 November 2012 and was enthroned in March 2013. It was announced by 10 Downing St on 26 December 2012 that Williams was to be created a life peer, so that he would remain a member of the House of Lords; his new peerage was created on 8 January and gazetted on 11 January 2013 as "Baron Williams of Oystermouth". He was re-introduced into the Lords on 15 January 2013.
