ENGLAND: ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY IN TV DOCUMENTARY

(The Independent) The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd Dr George 
Carey, is the subject of a television documentary which will be shown in 
Britain next month. The documentary will be shown on the independent 
television network and sets out to show the public and the private life
of Dr Carey. "Above all the series shows, he is a man of unshakeable
faith, with a determination to make the Church face up to the realities
of the end of the 20th century," says Kate Watson-Smyth in The
Independent newspaper.

In addition to revealing that Mrs Eileen Carey is a better Scrabble
player than the Archbishop, the programme also shows the inner reserves
of the Primate: Despite being troubled by what he perceives as society's
moral shortcomings and frequently depressed by his portrayal in the
media, he is still able to draw on 'an inner reservoir of cheerfulness'.
'You have to say - don't worry about it, that will one day be
forgotten'. What really matters is your own integrity, what you believe
in.'"
