My Take
Justin Welby fascinates me because of the sheer audacity of his life's pivot. Spending eleven years in the oil industry before training for ordination, then rising to become the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury, is a trajectory you simply cannot script. I have always trusted spiritual leaders who have been tested in the secular grind first; their words carry the weight of lived experience rather than abstraction. Leading the Church of England from 2013 to 2025 through turbulent times demanded both pastoral warmth and executive nerve, and his business background surely sharpened the latter. To me, Welby embodies a refreshingly grounded, hard-earned kind of faith.
